Default Need help fast, car wont start

When I go to turn the key all I hear is my starter clicking but it won't turn over. I can jump start it and it runs fine. I just had the starter replaced about a month ago. Sometimes when I hit the brakes the radio will shut off and come back on and the lights get really dim. I don't have any clue what it could be. My first thought was I need a new battery. Does anybody have any ideas. Thanks in advance

If the lights dim, then that probably means your alternator is taking a ****. It's not pumping out enough juice to power every. Also have the battery tested because sometimes if the alt. dies, it will take the battery out with it.
