Here's the deal. This is what I have roughly decided on so far. I have been doing as much research as I can with little to no understanding of computers (to start with anyway). If there are any problems with my rig, please inform me.
-I need to know what Power Supply I need or should get.
-Good deals on Mouse and Keyboard.
-Good deal on a good LCD monitor.
-Good deal on a sound system.
So far, my system costs $880. I didn't plan on spending this much, but I want a system that will last me a long while and play the latest games well. I am not very well off in terms of money, so take that into consideration please. Thank you everyone.
EDIT: This computer will be used by 3-5 people (I am building this computer for my little brothers and sisters as well as myself), and they are all gamers or movie watchers... Which is why I have the 1 TB hard drive, if that is overkill still, please tell me. All advice appreciated.

anything over 500 watts should be good for a power supply
newegg ussually has good deals on monitors
a one terrabyte hard drive is overkill but not really expensive enough to matter, i have every game u could think of installed, plus all the images backed up, plus at least a dozen movies, and i dont use half my 500 gb
I am not very good at interpreting what monitor is good for what. What size and specs should I try to look for in a monitor and sound system? And what brand of power supply should I go for?
EDIT:
-Should I go for a 750TX Corsair or 650TX Corsair PSU?
-I am going with the 22" Acer.
-I might go with a G.Skill 2x2 Pi Black DDR2 800 RAM instead of the Corsair.
-I am getting Windows Home Vista 64 Bit for $100.
My total is now reaching 1300 with shipping costs. I am BEGGING people to help me bring this price down. If you say I don't need certain things, I can take it out. I am thinking about cutting my 1TB in half... Thought?
