Midi or Full Towers will take all of todays ATX motherboards (which is really the only thing to be considered as far as case size is concerned). The PSU (Power Supply unit) usually comes fitted with the case, (but you can upgrade this if required later).
The cpu (processor i.e. AMD or Intel) sits on (plugs into) the motherboard. It has a heatsink and cooler assembly clipped on top.
All the drives (floppy, CD & Hard Disk {HDD}) screw to rails already contained inside the case.
AMD is just another make of processor. They tend to be more popular with PC builders as they are generally regarded as giving more 'bang per buck', (or value for money in English !) But you must choose the right make for your mobo as they are NOT interchangeable. You're best choosing your cpu first off, then look for a motherboard that will take it.

As zinglebarb says .. I think (hope) you mean £1500. Even at that your are spending a great deal. You can build a great PC for £500.
I've built 4, and whilst they break no records they are at least competent and none of them cost more than £250 !!
It all depends on what you want to do with your PC - online gaming (and many non on-line games) demand a lot of memory and powerful graphics cards which push your costs up dramatically. Whereas photo & music editing demand powerful processors and lots of memory. Just word processing and surfing can be done very well on a home built PC costing no more than say £200.
