It might have better benchmarks, but in real-world performance the 965 should be better for gaming, since most games don't utilize more than 4 cores.

That said, more and more games should start being released that do, so it's up to you whether you prefer a definite higher framerate in current games or a possible/probable higher framerate in future games.
