Definitely Intel processor. AMD processors tend to win in tasks such as video encoding/archive packing-unpacking, but Intel processors take a lead in games due to the more advanced set of instructions specially made for 3d applications.
Go for Nvidia. Their videocards tend to be more powerful than ATI's though cost more - but at the same time Nvidia has better drivers - ATI driver support is terrible. Besides NVidia cards have hardware physics support whereas ATI videocards are still struggling in that department.
