Media and Gaming, Here what I'm looking at.

To get the best help possible I'm going to tell you all what I'm going to be using the computer for. Then list the componets I'm looking at getting. I would appriciate any feedback.

I'm still a student and am will be using the computer for writing papers, browsing the web for reasearch. I also own a small web based complany and will be looking at posting small videos and lots of pictures, I've got a digital SLR camera and a digital camcorder, so I will be getting into some media editing (software recomendations welcome) I would love to be able to burn DVD's to mail out as well.

On the Gaming end I will be using mostley for Flight Sim games. I big into those. Don't know what the graphics requirments are but I want it to run smooth and fast.

Finally it will be used to link wirelessly with my xbox 360.
