Ok so I was planning on building a "Configurator" pc on cyperpower.com but I don't know which to go with... My budget is $1,000-1,500. I don't know whether I should start with with the AMD or INTEL? Apart from the I wouldn't know what parts to get for them either...

Not interested in building it yourself? Your money would go a lot further, but I'm not going to tell you how to live your life. I'm not sure how far $1500 is going to go for a pre-build system but I'd start with an Intel i5, or an AMD 8320 or 8350, 8gb of RAM, and a 280x, 770, or 290 as budget allows. Pre-build companies almost always throw in the cheapest PSU's they can get which is really bad. If there are options for anything else from Corasir, Seasonic, XFX, i highly recommend taking it, if not then I would research how to change out the PSU yourself to a quality unit.

I want to build it myself but my knowledge of any the high brands and stuff are few... My friends are talking about like a nvidia something or other... I only know what the parts do.
 
As far as parts go well tell you what's quality and a good deal. If you feel confident u can construct it, we can help you pick each part. Personally I've read the better businesses bereau review of cyberpower pc and it scared me away
 
newegg ncix tigerdirect all good website with frequent deals. i would say start a new thread, put a link to the new thread in here, and post your budget and your needs. do you need a monitor or operating system included in the budget? then well post out each part for you on a site like pcpartpicker

If you wanted to saturate the full $1500 budget you could step the CPU up to an i7 4770k and get a Corsair H100i liquid cooler.
