So I haven't built a new AMD computer in never... I have a friend that wants a new "fast" computer for use as an HTPC to use on his 60" TV. I decided on AMD/ATI because it is essentially cheaper even though I am an Intel fanboy. So I don't know much about AMD/ATI. I threw some parts together semi quickly that added up to right around $1k.

I used to have a motherboard and graphics card picked out and in my cart, but they were removed because of insufficient stock, so anyone help me out with that.
Feel free to tear this completely apart. I'm big on Western Digital drives, and that is the only brand I put in new computers I build, so the drive brand cannot change. He doesn't need lots of hard drive space. 500GB is probably overdoing it really. Other than that, that should be all I know he wants. Every one of the parts can change for all I care. I just want a decent computer for under $1000. He doesn't game, so no over the top graphics cards are necessary.
On the same note, I'm looking into upgrading soonish. Want a decent gaming system for around $1k. AMD/ATI. I already have a case and hard drive. I haven't really looked into it yet, just a thought. I will eventually be turning my current desktop into an HTPC with a 32" HDTV.
