The i7 3930K and the i7 3960X are both i7's, so I'm not sure what you're referring to. If you're comparing the i5 (I'm assuming 2500K or 3570K), the i7 3930K and i7 3960X is much more powerful and much more suited to applications that have a ton of threads.

Unlike the i5 2500K/3570K, the i7 3930K/3960X are both hexacore (6 core) processors with hyper threading whereas the i5's are quad core. Additionally, moving over to the LGA 2011 platform which is what the 3930K and the 3960X are on, you also get the benefit of having a lot more memory DIMMS as most of these LGA 2011 boards support 8 DIMM slots. You also get more PCIe lanes as well.

In terms of pure overclocking, go with the i5 2500K. AFAIK, the easiest processor to overclock is the i5 2500K.

3939k, it's the best 2011 value cpu,
if you really have no brain, and want to pay a 600 premium to get little to no extra ability, yeah go for 3960x,..

but it's 3930k, all the way mate
