Building my sister a system....

[maxpain456]

My sister graduates Flagler college in the spring and i'm planning on building her an AMD system for Graphic design. She mainly works with Photoshop CS5. How important are Graphics versus processing power? Should i go with a Discrete card and FX or Kaveri APU?

Cores are important for graphics design. I'd hate to say this, but the FX-8350 and a decent GPU would be better than a Core i5-4690K. I would consider the Geforce GTX 780 or 780 Ti.
