I'm most likely going to build a new computer for myself sometime during the summer after school ends and I was hoping some CPers could give me recommendation on parts.

I'm looking to build a system that can act as a Media Center for me to watch movies. It will also be used for gaming purposes (Mainly Shooters, Flight Sims and the likes of GTA). I may also have to do lots of Video and Photo Editing (the parents... like always). and of course the everyday school work.

I have about a $1000 - $1500 Budget

Monitor, Speakers, Tower (using my current one), Keyboard and Mouse I already have.

So if you could recommend to me any of the following, it would be great.

Power Supply Unit
Processor
Motherboard
Video Card
Sound Card(5.1 compatible)
TV Tuner Card

Thanks a bunch, CP!
