What to buy? New PC build

Guys,

Am looking to build a new PC from scratch. Will be used as a media server (have a streaming device attached to my TV), for some gaming, photo editing, and basic office programs plus heaps of multitasking.

Here's what i'm thinking:

Mid-tower case for lots of hard drives = (which brand?)
Power supply = (which brand?)
CPU = Core 2 Quad Q8200
motherboard = Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3
RAM = A-DATA 2GB DDR2 800 (should i get 4GB?)
Graphics = i am stuck here! don't want anything too expensive!
Hard drives = Samsung 1TB (one system drive, plus four of them in RAID 1 for data backup)
DVD burner = Pioneer still the best?

I already have a router, monitor, keyboard and mouse.

The main areas i am stuck in is case, power supply and graphics. Any suggestions?

Thanks
