    If he can't build his own computer, he won't know the difference between Intel/AMD and NVidia/ATI. Go AMD, it's cheaper. If he's using it for photoshop, make sure there is at least a gig or ram.

    Try the latest Sharky Extreme Value Gaming Guide. They build one for $1000, but that includes EVERYTHING (monitor, XP, keyboard, etc). Anywho, that would be a good start.
