I will use this computer with Windows XP and I will use Microsoft Word just for school work. What are the parts that I will need for my computer (I really mean like the parts that you would reccomend). I would like to not have to spend over $1,000 but I don't need the best either.

You'll be able to get one for less than $1,000. I recommend a Dell because they have good customer service and honor their warranty. Mainly: you'll want a dual core processor, 2GBs of memory, and a nice large screen. You're looking at $700-800. Get some nice speakers too. M-audio makes great studio speakers for $99

You could use this mobo:http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2853608&CatId=1533
or this combo: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3208228
add this memory:http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/category/category_slc.asp?CatId=2261&
Harddrive/s: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/category/category_slc.asp?CatId=2459 I suggest at least 500GB for video editing, you're gonna' need the room! If it's in the budget, a Western Digital Raptor, for the gamin'! 10,000rpm, should do it, 15,000 isn't that necessary.

Would recommend 750 watts, but you can list all your internal part's, and use this calculator from Asus.com: http://support.asus.com/PowerSupplyCalculator/PowerSupplyCalculator_right.aspx?SLanguage=en-us
