Sounds like you need a Mac Mini. The Apple TV will not do all of those things. If it did they would sell a billion of them for 99 smackers!

It can stream music and video from your iTunes library. That's really all it's intended to do.

A video cable to connect the two of them together.
Can be done for anywhere between $10-$30 (typically) depending on which Mac you have and the TV you have.

Have a look here.

AppleTV (the new one as well as the old one) can also "stream" photos. Just sayin'.
