Currently i am planning to buy a new pc as my old one (Pentium III)is really running very slow already. Because of this, i don play games for many years. I want to use my computer for doing C++ and java programming. At the same time, i also use my computer to play some games like FIFA07 and need for speed Prostreet. What kind of cpu should i get to do all these things. Is AMD better or Intel? i am always confuse on how to choose a nice graphic card. What is the purpose to include the MB in the graphic card. My budget is 1300-1500.Thanks..

Get AMD. If with monitor RM1500 u wont get a spec that can even play nfs prostreet.

Get lowest AMD X2 athlon, around rm280 mobo, 2 gb ram, then spend some budget on graphics card. If ur spec so expensive, but use internal gc, also no use.
