Approximate Purchase Date: when ever I can my parts figured out
Budget Range: $1,000
System Usage from Most to Least Important: gaming, surfing the net, light video editing
Parts Not Required: Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, Speakers
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: New Egg. I have $140 in gift cards to Comp USA that I will probably use to pick up Windows 7
Country of Origin: USA
Parts Preferences: Intel, MSI motherboard
Overclocking: Probably not
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe some day in the future
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Mostly just play WoW on it but I want to be able to turn everything up. I do some other lite gaming as well but I do not need the top of the line card. I am willing to spend the most money on the video card compared to the other components though. No SLI or Crossfire either. I will be doing some lite video editing as well but just stuff from my family. I also would maybe like a Blu-Ray burner as well for those movies. A cheaper one will do fine though and if they are too much I will skip the Blu-Ray for now and just get DVD to stay under budget. No SSD either.
Taking a stab at it:

Video Card: Suggestions? I do not have a preference on brand
Power Supply: Depends on what the card is. Suggestions?
All of this stuff can be changed out I am not attached to any of them. I would like my CPU to be Intel though and I have worked with MSI boards in the past and been happy but I am open to suggestions there as well.
Any help would be great. I have used this site before and I always have been helped out.
Thanks in advance!
