He'll need a graphic card with that CPU which he hasn't mentioned if he owns one.

Any major difference in the mother boards besides amd and intel?
Will they support ssd?

with provided amd configuration , you need to always use the dedicated gpu. the given amd mobo has 6 sata 3 ports compared 4 of the other(+2 sata 2 port). check official spec sheet for more details.
both configuration support ssd.

AMD needs a separate GPU where as Intel doesn't.
Yes both will support any SSD.

He already got an HD7750
So AMD rig is better, considering that photoshop is benefited by multiple cores.

that's a bit tough call. it entirely depends on the cpu choice.
