there is no such thing as best possible build... for me I think of AMD as getting the best out of your budget right now... but if you are looking for a build that you are going to sit on for quite some time then its best to wait... 940BE is not an AM3 socket so i wouldnt suggest you getting a 940BE if you are planning on using AM3 Board and DDR3 in the future... am3 chips are compatible with AM2+ boards so you can get a AM2+ board that wouldnt break the bank... then again you can get i7 since you dont have a budget in mind... comparing a best build of AMD with Intel i7 wouldnt work lol...
