Step Brothers First Build

[NolanUK]

My step brother is wanting a computer that he can do graphics design on and has a limit of £800.

 

What sort of spec would anyone suggest?

[wng_kingsley7]

Do you require the software package within the budget too?

He is ok for the software as I already have all the software he needs, its not for University.
