  The Most Essential Parts are: Ram, Graphics And Processor.
  Add on a proper cooling system.
  
  Processor: Core2Duo >2.0Ghz should be fine
  Ram: 2x 2GB DDR2
  Graphics: GeForce 8800
  MotherBoard: Up to you
  CDRW:Toshiba LightScribe DVD±RW (to burn pics into your disc)
  PSU: 500W
  Mouse: Razer
  Keyboard:Razer
  Casing: up to you
  Cooling System: Maybe 2 fans at the sides of casing and 2 at the back or water cooled system.
  
  Quite Perfect For Games and can last quite long before you need to upgrade, For word processing + photoshop wouldnt cause much lag.

  Tips:

  Razer Diamondback ($65) + Razer Keyboard ($1xx) / can sub with Logitec's Gaming mouse and key at $xxx
  A Game Casing >> $2XX (confirmed with hwz)
  Graphics>> Go for lower end like dedicated 256mb or 384mb, nt the 8800 unless u are damm rich ($2xx to 4xx)
  Monitor>> 19inch LG 4ms delay ($4xx) Up to you if u want fast frames if not just stick to your old monitor
  HDD>> Above 250GB ($2xx)
  SoundCard>> Creative (high end) ($4xx)
  Vista premium >> Saw at hwz oem at $1xx+

  In short the best buy is to get a dell with warranty, some of these do come with life time (ram, hdd) , few years limited warranty but you will have lots of different cards to send out and to keep, you might lose track of some.
  
  shops also charge for installation of hardware ect. on top of the price of the hardware, you need to pay more

  Basically, hunt around all shops to pay the least. I managed to build a pretty high end one for about 1000+ bucks.

  Eh, just to add on, the casing is something you'll need to consider as well, especially if you are upgrading your system relatively frequent (for ease of casing removal), an overclocking enthusiast (aerodynamics for efficient cooling) or a LAN party go-er (aluminium, mATX one would be convenient).
