So I have offered to build my little brother a new desktop and find him the best laptop I possibly can. My laptop budget is $600 and the desktop budget is $1300. I could definitely pick out some stuff myself on newegg but I want my brother to get the best computer possible so I figured I'd ask the experts :)  As far as the desktop usage, he will definitely benefit more from a fast intel CPU and I am looking to include a 256GB SSD and 1TB HDD. If we can fit it within the budget it would be nice to get him a solid video card (~$150 tops) but he probably won't be playing much games. He is going into a business program which I am about to graduate from and I want to build him a solid desktop he can rely on in case the laptop gets shitty. Thanks a ton guys!!

Your budgets are a bit topsy turvey.
You should build a basic i5 rig with a decent $200 graphics card for the desktop and buy a solid non gaming i5 laptop for business. This will cover all needs for 4+ years. You dont actually NEED a 256 ssd, tho it helps . He may not intend to play games but a recreational pc does more than that.
