AMD Phenom II X4 955 or 965?

[AzN_Doomstay]

Which 1 is better, there are many debates but i dont know who to listen to lol and is the price difference only $10CAD from the 955 to the 965? So would it be smarter to get the 965 instead for the extra 0.2 Ghz? Thanks =) The computer is for gaming if that info is needed. And are there better CPUs that in the range $160-180CAD?

Grab the 955, and put that $10 towards a good CPU cooler

Its at the higher end of your budget, but ASUS makes nice boards and it supports USB 3.0 and SATA III

I see thanks but doesnt all Mobo support USB 3.0 and Sata III? lol And what are the other benefits in getting this besides its Asus. I know they make good Mobos. Are there anything thats a bit lower in price cause i know Gigabyte is ok too right or?? =) Thanks again!
