Looking to upgrade an old single core computer. Only need info on CPU/mobo, memory, and a graphics card. Already have everything else.

I am looking for CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP. I'm no fanboy I just want the best performance on the cheap. Its a 2nd computer/backup computer to do some illustration editing at home. Already got a powerhouse at the office.

I don't want any overkill. Just bare minimum I can get away with without feeling slow in Photoshop and Illustrator CS6. I use alot of Transparency in Illustrator and mostly use Photoshop for cropping/lighting correction.

I'm even concidering used parts. I'd like to spent less then $250.

I'm build savvy- just out of touch with that last couple generations of parts and where they stand in the heirachy.

THANKS!

The A8-6600K was released today and has a significantly better built in GPU.

I personally would never buy used PC parts ever. That's an area where buyers can really scam customers.
