My favourite review sites are anandtech.com and techreport.com
The former also has a good comparison chart at http://www.anandtech.com/bench
What are you doing with the PC (games + resolution, office tasks, encoding, playing media etc.) , and what is your budget? You may not need a CPU as fast as the 965 even.
Core i7 is faster, but also a lot more expensive than AMD. At the prices AMD sells chips, they tend to be the same or better value than Intel. Above $200, Intel is the only choice. So we need to know what you're doing with your PC in order to be able to recommend a CPU (and GPU).
