Newegg.com , buy.com and some others (usa), it would be better if you tell us in what country you live so we can recommend websites around you (if they exist near you).

I've moved this thread to Desktop Computers, you should receive more help here.

Can you please tell us:

Your Budget
What the system will be used for

so that we can provide you with some useful recommendations.

A gaming orientated computer will be very different to a word processing one.

Sorry to disappoint you but you won't be able to build a computer for 200$ that will be able to do all that you want

For $200, you can probably build a computer that'll do word processing, internet, music and movies, but no way is it gonna play any games.
