I have been purchasing systems from Best Buy and Circuit City and I just want to build one myself for the first time.

All this for under $1000. That is my budget. Anyone have suggestions, or can confirm a good build that would be great.
This pc will be used for a good bit of gaming. I am playing Lineage 2 right now and also AION when it comes out. Also, some HD streaming to my xbox 360 for movies, etc. My wife may use it for designing with Quark, Illustrator, etc.
Thanks!
