If I was building a PC for use on photoshop then I would go for.

An intel quad core 6600 as photoshop can utilise the extra cores and it means you can be downloading-listening to music while working on photshop. Memory is also important in photoshop as when the images are uncompressed they can use up to high 100's MB, so I would go for 4GB(2x2gb) of 800mhz ddr2 ram. Hard drive space is down to how much you want really but I think 2x 400GB sata 2 drives. One HD can be used for OS and photoshop and the like and the other for the scatch file photoshop uses. Having the scratch file on a seperate disc speeds it up. Graphic card is not really important in a non gaming system so I would go for an Ati 2600xt as it has built in HD file decoding. It may usefull if importing film strips into photoshop though photoshop is really CPU intensive.
