Not for the i7 965, since it's the "Extreme Edition", but it's quite useless and way overpriced.
If I had to choose, I would buy an Intel i7 with socket 1156, and not an i7 with 1366 socket.
For example the i7 820 or 860.
And don't let the name fool you, a higher number isn't always better. The i7 9xx are socket 1366, i7 8xx are socket 1156.
