I upgraded from the 965 to the 1090 and there's not much of a difference. I would just get the 965 as it's much cheaper.

I got my 1090 through AMD's Retail Employee Purchase Program for dirt cheap if you're wondering why I upgraded.

As far as OCing goes, I was running the 965 @ 3.9GHz and I'm currently running the 1090 @ 3.6 GHz, though I think it has a little more headroom. I just OC slowly (bump the multiplier up by 0.5 per week until it crashes, then bump it down by 1) so I know it'll be 100% stable long-term.
