i5 750 + MSI GD65. Should be great.
The PII 965 is a very good processor. But the i5 beats it in all benchmarks.

Thats silly...The phenom II x4 955 does better then the higher clocked intel core i7 965 in some benchmarks, you obviously have no idea what your talking about
Well, do I not? I suggest you read this review here on techspot and check for yourself. Unless you claim to know more than them, I guess I was right.
New drivers don't effect the processor.Maybe with the new drivers
The Phenom II X4 955 was very similar in this respect, although gaming benchmarks can be somewhat misleading due to GPU limitations, the Phenom II X4 955 is a very competitive gaming processor.
New drivers don't effect the processor.
Now, if you read the review in its entirety, you may learn something. Here is a quote from the last page: "The Intel Core i7 processors still rule the ranks"
Sorry, you just lost credibility in my eyes.
My point is that the phenom II's are very good gaming processors thats all
