Hello, I have an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 960 CPU @ 3.20GHz. Any idea what architecture I should select when downloading Kali Linux? Thanks.

You can use either the i386, or the amd64. Note the 'amd' in amd64 has nothing to do with the cpu. Enjoy!

i386 is 32bit and amd64 is 64bit. It should only be a concern if any part of your computer, peripheral or software requires 32bit drivers. It's basically for compatibility with legacy or old equipment.
