I'm thinking if I'm going to make the change and go i7 I should go with the 965. It's double the price of the 940 but doesn't it open up a few more opportunities???

Go with a 920. A 965 is a complete and total waste of money. You won't achieve any overclocks that a 920 isn't, for the most part, capable of. Unless you have money to burn that is.
