The 955 is nice. I am having problems hitting 4 ghz on it right now but I did manage to get it to 3.85 but the temps while on Prime made me have to back away. Do a quick google search and you will see some insane overclocks for the 955 but they are all on the HIGH end boards. If you are really going to think about getting the 955 you need to figure in around 200 for a board because the lower end ones aren't going to get you over 4 on air. But performance wise I have no complaints at all about it.
What setup are you planning on getting with both rigs Rohan. You say its only a 25 dollar difference so list the full specs of the builds because that will really make it more of an easy choice than just the processors comparisons.
