Well usually I wouldn't ask for help on a build, but I want to make sure this is perfect for his needs.
His needs are:
1. NO NVIDIA
2. NO INTEL
(A firm hate for both, which I'm not going to try to convert. I've tried and failed with nVIdia when he used to use a HD 2900XT... but anyways.. forget about that)
(recent lightning storm has rendered his whole rig fried..)
Budget is $1000 USD:
Phenom II X4 940 (he's not much of a multi-tasker but I was wondering if AM3 was worth considering here)
Biostar 790GX
4GB DDR2 (or DDR3 if AM3 is worth considering here)
AMD Radeon HD 4870 1GB (no nVidia so that's probably the best he can afford)
Corsair 750TX (He'll most likely CrossfireX in the future)
Uses a 24'' 1080p monitor
Case will be reused along with Optical Drives, Mouse, Keyboard
Really I'm 99% sure this build is fine, but AM3 seems to be something I'm not sure about.. that's the only place where I need help
