Mid Level Gaming / Work System

Hey I am looking to build a gaming / work PC (excel, word, publisher) and would like some help in deciding what I should look at purchasing to build provide a good stable system.

The games that will be played on this are more Simulations – like Command and Conquer, etc. Will also be used for music, video editing, web surfing TV / Movie watching.
I already already a great Altec Lansing USB Sound System, 22inch Monitor - Samsung, Keyboard and MouseI also have Vista Operation System (32 bit) and Office 2007.
