PCs are much better that Crapples because they are faster and cheaper. They'll cost about half as much as a Crapple. Just have him buy a Dell/HP/Compaq if he wants a prebuilt one. He doesn't sound very computer savy, s getting something with a strong warranty is a better option. If he was computer savvy, he'd just build his own.
 
pc's are more than good enough to do the job. i have often heard that apples are better for graphics design, and i use photoshop on a g4 at school, but i see no difference in performance between it and my pc at home.(except that it's faster because my computer is a pos) but we also play mohaa over the lan in my new media class :), and it's soooo freaking annoying not being able to install any other games on the machines because they aren't compatible with windows ish. i'd get a pc at this point simply because of compatibility issues, but macs are ok by me as well.
