Ok So I know this has been much discussed already but
Considering I want to keep my current mobo (see sig) should I get the 1055T, 955 or 965? I will most definantly be overclocking as far as stable. If so what kind off clocks should I be expecting from a 1055T and my existing mobo? I'm just concered that I'll pay extra for two idling cores as this will almost exclusively be used for gaming and browsing of the Interwebs. Your opinions would be greatly appreciated!
 
havent really tried to take notice of my cpu usage in games a lot but ive not noticed more than 35% on my 1055t anytime ive alt tabbed

even transcoding video i was only getting 60% (poor multicore support) was going at 80fps though
 
Personally for the sake of £30 (between 955 and a 1055T) i'd go for the 1055T, and have 6 cores, that overclock better.
 
Yes but the 965 is a BE and I'm a noob overclocker
EDIT: Does anyone know what overclocks I should expect with my existing mobo (MSI C45 770) with a 1055T or 965?

Go with a 955 Black Edition. I went from a 955 to a 1090T - as for games getting a 1090T was just a waste of $$$, as for my video editing I won a few seconds here and there but nothing exceptional.
