Trying to build a budget photoshop build for my grandfather who uses photoshop and illustrator.
I was thinking

CPU: FX 6300
MOBO: GA-78LMT-S2P Socket AM3+ 760G mATX
RAM: 4 GB x 2, Kingston Blue Red
PSU: Corsair 500W
HDD: Seagate 7200RPM 500 GB Barracuda
Generic CD/DVD Drive
Some Cheap Case

the budgets around $350; do you think this build would suffice? I was thinking about adding a HD 6670 to it but maybe the dedicated fx6300 would do its job? Thank you for the help

Photoshop isn't very demanding at that level. You might get away with your planned build. I built my sister a Photoshop machine with slightly higher specs and a killer screen in a Bitfenix Prodigy case. Note that my build was a mini-ITX build.
