The faster the cpu and the more system memory you have,, ie 2 gig plus a good graphics card like the radeon pro x1950 is ideal for photoshop, you want the large files to display fast and a fast refresh or redraw rate. so 512 mb will be better than 256 mb on the card. you can never have enough memory these days. get the best you can afford i say. the radeon pro x1950 would need a decent psu, 450 watts is the minimum recomended . if you have that or 500+ watts or more your ok. if the radeon pro x1950 is to powerful, go for the radeon pro x1650 512, but in graphics apps and multimedia apps like video conversion, encoding etc the more powerful cards are better.
