ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I'm upgrading from an AMD 3500+ Socket 939 CPU, MSI K8N Neo4 mobo, and X850xtpe graphics card.
I just received a HD4890 from my wonderful girlfriend as a gift and I need to upgrade the rest of my system to horribly un-bottleneck it.
Right now I was looking at....
GIGABYTE GA-MA790X-UD4P AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 790X ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK - Retail
AMD Phenom II X4 940 Deneb 3.0GHz Socket AM2+ 125W Quad-Core Black Edition Processor Model HDZ940XCGIBOX - Retail
Total of $354.97.
I know I just missed the combo deal on newegg but oh well. Is this build okay? Any advice? I'm open to any suggestions!
