What do you mean by video work? What type? What applications? That computer has a 6100 which isn't exactly the best.

That computer has a 6100 which isn't exactly the best.

Also have a budget of 300, maybe more :/

What I'm trying to say is that if the graphics work he has to do is extremely robust, he shouldn't try to buy a computer with that budget...
