If you're going to get an i7, get the 920 and clock it 3.3 Mhz with the stock cooler or 3.6 Mhz and higher with a decent aftermarket cooler.
With this you'll get fast clocks for games and applications that are clock sensitive and the benefits of the high bandwidth and thread features for everything else.
The Phenoms aren't bad for a budget but as more and more programs begin to take advantage of the i7's features, the Phenoms will trail further behind and you'll want to upgrade your CPU again earlier than with a i7 920.
