Hey, gang!
I can always rely on this site and the fantastic builders here to help me out (have built 2 computers based on the help here in the past), so I am here again.
My brother is a web designer. He has always used Macs, but can't afford to go that route this time, and is looking to build a quality PC for as cheap as possible.
He uses the Adobe Suite and other graphic oriented software. He needs the whole package: monitor, case, graphics card, etc.
I've never actually built a computer that needs a graphics card, so I'm a little out of my depth. It doesn't have to be for video games, but something that can handle graphic art.
I'm thinking an Intel build would be best, though I'm not sure which CPU he'd need for this.
Thanks in advance for your help!
EDIT: follow up question. When requiring all the peripherals (monitor, keyboard, mouse, windows OS, etc) would it actually be cheaper just to buy a pre-built computer?
