New computer question about hardware (specs included)?

Alright, so all I will be using my computer for is to browse the internet, (Facebook, YouTube, pretty much small time browsing.) downloading music for iTunes, very minimal video editing, (Windows Movie Maker, thats all I know how to do LOL) etc. Nothing too intense EXCEPT for gaming. Now I do have an Xbox 360 for about 85% of my gaming. Keep in mind that I am a 14 year old boy, so besides school, Hanging out with friends, and girls, this is a big chunk of my life. The only computer games I will ever play is The Sims 3 and Civilization 5 based games. Any RTS. (real time strategy.) I will never buy anything like Call of Duty or Assassins Creed for my PC. So this is what I want or Christmas, a nice computer that will meet my needs. I will also tell you all that we are not rich, or anywhere near to it. I live in the United States of America, and the economy is pretty rough, I am not ashamed to say this because this is who I am. The Computer is 1200.
