$800 max photoshop/gaming computer

[donald7777]

Hello everyone. I am planning on building a new computer for my brother. He mostly does 10 feet by 10 feet Photoshop pictures for his work. Also he games quite a lot. I was wondering if someone could help me put this computer together. The only problem is it CANNOT be form online. It has to be retail like frys electronics and tpi-us.com sorry for the problems there (no credit card plus parents).

I would like to thank everyone who helps me and everyone in the past that has helped me.
