Which is better the intel i3 or phenom 965. I plan on OC'ing and my GPU is the Radeon HD 5850. I am not spending over $250 on CPU and motherboard. With the phenom I am thinking about getting this motherboard:

I don't know which motherboard for the i3.
OR I can extend my budget by like $20 and get this (I'm not leaning towards this because of the cheap motherboard but it does have a good processor.
