So what keep my amd build?
i7 and 965 are virtually neck in neck for gaming, i7 can overclock further, which gives you no bonus for gaming
difference is, 965 is $190
i7 is $280
1366 mobos can easily top $200-300, $170 if your lucky
AM3 mobos dont even hit $200 (sans 1 overpriced foxconn)
so AM3 for a 965BE and motherboard, ~340-350
i7+ mobo ~ 450-500+
not to mention the increased cost to have to get tri-channel RAM
