Seeking feedback on build components

[PBR600RR]

It's about time I upgraded my PC as I'm still running Windows XP on a P4 3.2 GHz. That being said, I've had to relearn everything all over again when it came to components - which is why I'm here. I want a do-it-all build as I don't plan to do hardcore anything - no hardcore gaming, video editing, etc. That being said, I do plan to do some gaming and picture/video editing. Again, this would be hobby level type activities, not hardcore/professional editing or rendering. Of course, all the usual office/internet activities will also be done. I wanted to stay under $1,000 including OS (Windows 7), and leave room for possible future upgrades - SSD, RAM and other incremental upgrades.

Please provide feedback based with my current list. Is my power supply total overkill? Any recommendations? I just realized I need an optical drive, but that should be simple to pick out.

You only need a Z series motherboard if you plan on overclocking or SLI. If you are going to overclock you also need an unlocked processor (ends in K)

Thanks for the info and build options! I do have a question. It looks like MOBO only supports up to DDR3 1600, so could I find reliable DDR3 1600 RAM for cheaper? I undersstand the 2133 can work with the 1600.

Update: The G Skill Sniper 2133 you listed is cheaper than the S Skill Sniper 1600...

Yes it will be downclocked if it's used on a H or B series mobo.
