AMD phenom II x4 965 BE vs. Athlon II x4 750k BE

[AdamsBC]

Hey guys, I need help with choosing a quad for gaming.

AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 GHz Black Edition 125W Processor (HDZ965FBGMBOX)

or

AMD Athlon II X4 750K Black Edition, 4x 3.40GHz, box [AD750KWOHJBOX]


...They both cost the same where I'm at.

Phenom II > Athlon II.

Not by leaps and bounds, but still better. And if they are the same money, then it's an easy call.

Here's a comparison between a Phenom II X4 and an Athlon II X4 with similar clock speeds:

Phenom II bro, I don't know much about AMD processors but I hear everyone tell me to stay away from Athlon.
