I'm not sure whether applications like Adobe Photoshop or Corel Draw take any benefit from Cuda or not ??? Can someone confirm this ???

AFAIK usage of badaboom have some good advantages when Config is loaded with Nvidia GPU. Anyway the above sandybridge config can hold a lot of threads, so no probs.

Ya, Adobe Photoshop and Corel Draw can both take advatage of GPU acceleration from both AMD and Nvidia. For nVidia it uses CUDA and for AMD it uses Direct Compute acceleration. Currently upto 6800 series is officially supported by Corel Draw although unofficially it supports HD 6900 series too.

So a low end card like GT 430/520 or HD 5670 can be added here.

Yes, they will. And their graphics rendering will be smoother than the same one will get with Intel HD2000/3000. But OP's budget doesn't allow him to get a descent config with a descent graphics card. :/
