Mild build need some input
so im building my friends father a new computer and he needs it for his car dealership. i guess what he told me is that he needs a computer that is more up to date than his 8 year old computer that sits in his office lol. the limit is ~500. i want to make sure he can fiddle around with photoshop too since he likes to do that stuff for his band in his spare time.
my question is should i go intel or amd? any thoughts are very appreciated thanks in advance.

A MB with the 4200 OB series GPU should suffice with at lease 2x2g of RAM.
Any good inexpensive dual core CPU too... MB, about $60-70 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...e=&srchInDesc= CPU $30-50 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...e=&srchInDesc= I'd dig deeper but what exactly do you need? Case, PS, HS, CD/DVD drive, HDD, OS, RAM.... BTW, unless you go with a GPU card, the ATI4200 is a very good choice for a dedicated OB GPU. It can also crossfire with an add on 4xxx video card later for upgrade ability.

The Gigabyte MB in the combo has an ATI4200 iGPU that can be CrossFireX with another ATI 4xxx series card for even more GPU power.

I screwed up and listed DDR3 RAM
 I'll correct that in the previous reply  Corrected and about $8 less too Since you don't need the OS, you could CrossFireX with a 4770 for about $110 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...e=&srchInDesc= Those two GPUs should do the video edit bit rather well for the overall cost.
