<human>: Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell

So, I have this old, 5 year old or so computer tower that used to be a mighty fine windows XP gaming computer. Unfortunately, in the apartment where I lived with my father if you turned on the toaster and the TV at the same time, (wut) the fuse would blow and the power would go out. Most of the time I was on the computer when this happened, so the computer got suddenly and improperly shut off. This happened at least once a week, usually more and eventually started to cause me to get blue screens. At first I just ignored them, and power cycled the computer. Then I got only blue screens, no matter how many times I restarted it. Anyway, the computer had stopped working and I was sad. We moved apartments a couple of times, and in one of these moves, the box containing my computer got dropped. The tower was fine but the monitor had broke, spewing whatever liquid was inside of it all over everything else. (Excluding the monitor, the padding we had put it in had protected it) At any rate, this left us with a tower, a keyboard that may or may not work and now monitor. Today my dad told me that, finally, after 5 years of it being broken, he would finally put down a thousand dollars to get new parts so we can fix it. We'll be reusing the power supply and the box of the tower, but I'm pretty sure we're going to have to gut most of the innards out and replace them with newer parts, due to how old it is. I want to make myself a nice gaming computer, so what graphics cards/motherboards/hard drives should I get to accomplish this? Sorry I can't give you the exact specs of the computer, I'm not currently at my dad's house when writing this. All I can tell you is that I got a lot of BSODs, and then eventually when I booted it up all I got was a black screen with some light grey text telling me something about the BIOS, which doesn't sound very good. I have 1,000$ to spend on parts, so help me out AskReddit!
<bot>: Old windows PC broke, going to get new parts to turn it into a gaming computer. Which are the best parts in a 1,000$ price range to get for said computer?
