First Build. Suggestions. Will it Work?

Whoops, sorry. They're essentially the same thing. I.e. it doesn't matter which one you get.

no the G965 northbridge is not as good performance as the P965, hence the G965 has 30 reviews, while the P965 has 300+ and is out of stock

you will see better performance from the P965, but what is your budget?

Reviews mean absolutely nothing.

No you won't, you won't notice anything in actual usage.

The 965P chipset is better in terms of overclocking. Other than that there's not a huge difference (besides the obvious that the 965G includes integrated graphics).
