First build in a LONG time, looking for opinions

Hello,
Let me start by saying I haven't built a pc from scratch in a few years, and I'm trying to play catch up with all the new products on the market. Here is what I am trying to accomplish. A PC that is as close to $1000 as possible. It will be used for moderate gaming like WoW, Call of Duty, and the new Final Fantasy. It will also be used for recording, downloading, and watching movies, music, etc. I have always been an AMD fan so I am gearing towards that.

Below is what I have come up with on my own so far, and what I would like to know is 1) does everything here look compatible, and 2) any suggestions to swap out/change anything to make it a better rig. I have a monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc and what you see below is all I need for a new PC.

Any suggestions on a mid range vid card would also be appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help and critique, and sorry for the random order of parts below

And the video card I am stumped on. Been leaning towards an ATI of some kind, preferably with 1gb of mem at 256bit, but suggestions are very welcome.

Thanks again!
