By media what do you mean (that could mean many things)?

Also, what is your budget?

$500 will get you a good CPU AND motherboard, but expect another $500 on everything else

Media editing requries less GPU power than people think. Gaming is another story

What adionik said ^^^

The only game I really play is World of warcraft, but I usually multibox 3-4 toons.

So $500 on CPU / Motherboard
$ on RAM

How good/bad is my current GPU?
