with current games and a single GPU there will be little difference between the two CPU's at stock settings.

add more GPU's or wait for future games, then the i7 will kick the *** out of the 955.

oh and the i7 helps in FSX and GTAIV also.

how much do you want to spend. A build with the 955 sill be cheaper.
