Need some help picking out parts for new comp...

Hey all,

I think I'm gonna build myself a new comp for xmas... I already have a spare hard drive, CD-r, floppy drive, etc...

I just need a case, a motherboard, a processor, and ram... I guess I need a video card too... I have a PCI Tnt2 that I could use, but thats kinda old :p

I need a monitor too, but that can wait...

The comp will be used mainly for some games, working with flash/html, and some C++ stuff...

I don't want to spend a lot, and don't need the fastest computer possible, just something that will work...

Should I go with AMD for the processor? They seem cheaper than Intel...

Thanks,

Oh yea, if anyone knows any sites where I can catch up on all the latest computer hardware news stuff, please post em... I haven't been paying attention to the whole computer thing lately and need to catch up :)
