As far as gaming goes they are even, they are both fast and terrific overclockers and they both work well with high end graphics cards. Personally i prefer the 955 because it makes more sense financially . you will never use the i7 to its true potential unless you do high end multi tasking and cpu intensive tasks and even then the 955 can hold its own quite easily

core i5 is good too but all the i5 needs is a good cooler like hyper 212+


Not really...

But I agree that Phenom II X4 955 makes more sense financially than Core i7 920. You really wouldn't need that much power in gaming anyway.
