Look into the performance difference between Intel and AMD for pcsx2 in the cpu benchmark thread in hardware discussion.
Even with a marginal overclock to 3ghz, it would outperform the 965.
Quote:57.87 FPS - SLUS 20672 - Intel Core i7 860 - 2.8 GHz Stock (Turbo Boost on) - ilovejedd
53.33 FPS - SLUS 20672 - AMD Phenom II X6 1055T - 3.33 GHz OC - ilovejedd (Turbo Core on)

You just are intel fanboy. I am just buying parts that are best choice for the money, I don't care if it's intel or amd, nvidia or ati, or anything else. I wouldn't feel clever if I would pay 4 times more for 2fps.

I am defending intel here because those results clearly show that intel works better for pcsx2 and most other things in general for that matter.
If AMD releases a cpu + chipset that is better than that of intel I will happily jump on the AMD bandwagon.
Phenom II is barely any better than the Q9000 series.
Also an i5 750 is only 20 bucks more expensive with a lot more potential and better performance in most non pcsx2 use.

For pcsx2 definitely i5 680 will be the best choice of all cpus at the moment, but it's only 2 cores and socket 1156 is a dead end, there is nothing better you can upgrade i5 680 for and probably won't be ever. If you want something more future proof go for amd phenom II X4 965.

Oh!!! Why intel is so so expensive, so it is better than AMD??
Intel i5 six core is 999$ , OK, what if i baught this:

AMD Phenom II X2 555 Black Edition Callisto 3.2GHz 2 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 80W Dual-Core Desktop Processor - C3 Revision HDZ555WFGMBOX

I will buy it, is it good for pcsx2? Fast? As i can't buy the intel one it is expensive and my family wont buy either.

There is no i5 hexacore. It's called the i7 980x.
Looks like both the i5 and phenom II 965 are out of your reach.
If you must get a phenom II X2, get a mobo that has the core unlock function.
You might be able to turn it into a triple or quad core.

So it will still be slow if i baught the phenom II X2 one?
My motherboard is ECS 662/1066M

It would not work because It's a different socket. (775 on your mobo)
You would need a different mobo as well.
Socket am3 or socket am2+ if you want to be able to use your old ddr2 ram.

Intel is so expensive because it haven't had much competition on market for a long time and you are paying for brand not for real speed of cpu. Since amd appeared intel lost much of it's customers (like me Biggrin ) but still not enough to became normal company so to have equal to amd cpu from intel you have to pay at least 2 times more for it.

To be honest there is no more sensible choice for pcsx2 than phenom II X2 555, and if you'll get a good mainboard to it you will be able to upgrade your cpu in the future for some change. Generally u can't go better than that at the moment. Just remember that you will need a good graphics card at least mid-range class to get this cpu to run 100%. Something like radeon 5770 or geforce 460 will be alright.

Edit: Fastest cpu that might work on ur motherboard might be an Intel Core2 Duo E7600 3,06GHz, but it still be slow, specially with 667MHz ram.
