Photoshop & Video editing

Hi,
I've have ben tasked with putting together a hot desk at work.
This computer must have the lastest photoshop and professional video editing software.
Can you spec me a system capable of performing these tasks.
No Keyboard, mouse, moniter or operating system needed.
Budget will probably be around 500 - 1000 but ideally should included the editing software?

Will this be possable within this budget?

Cheers

What software are you looking at using? The retail version of Photoshop CS6 is likely to set you back over £600 alone, which doesn't leave a lot of room in your budget...

You know photoshop CS6 is atleast £300 alone right?

And video editing software can range from free into £1000's..

You can "rent" Adobe CC

Creative Cloud - Photoshop Photography Program - Photoshop CC and Lightroom 5 for £8.78/month. (1 Year commitment)

Note that once that's ended you either have to continue the sub or make sure your work is saved in formats you can open without the CC versions.

It's not cheap, but cheaper than buying the full versions when released.
