My friend has a budget of 500 and he has a motherboard already. He asked for help. He already has a motherboard. He never told me the specs of it. But I'll be looking forward to them I guess. He wants to use it for normal use and slight gaming like unreal tornament. He wants a good one as cheap as possible. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Well tell us what motherboard he has - we can't spec anything else otherwise as we won't know what will fit.

Another friend is asking me to help. He is asking for a very fast computer for 500 budget including shipping in it. and like for the best basic uses including clear photoshop and all. I need the parts for that price for a fast computer the better and faster choice between intel or AMD for this kind of pc. Pick the one that's better and include in the list. He's an Nvidia fan I guess try to find a good nvidia card that will match up with ati at the same price. Otherwise if there is none I will let him know. Thanks.

Does this include playing games or not? If it does not, it's doable, but you can't build a really fast gaming PC for a $500.

He told me basic stuff so I suppose it does not. And he wants good photoshop. Thanks.

So does this $500 include a motherboard or not? if it doesn't, what motherboard is it that it's meant to use?

Nope it doesn't. I tried to find a great reliable build I always end up having like 650 total. Thanks.

Newegg reviews aren't very accurate as most people who go there to publish reviews are retarded and only think the product is bad because they can't use it properly. The low profile 4650 has a very noisy cooler and is designed for Mini low profile systems. The 1GB one is slower because the memory is lower speed, and you will never use that much memory. The Antec 300 isn't really any better, hence why I'm not putting it in as much any more.

Alright. And I did see some nvidia cards. But I suppose they are all overpriced. Am i right?

Well, put it this way, the cards that cost the same will perform worse. The cards that perform the same will be more expensive.

Yup, that's a pretty decent example. Keep to your own threads for your own research though - and more importantly, stick to one thread where possible.
