The Bolded things are not possible in this budget.
 
Ok,
I understand both of yours suggestion, that I need to increase budget to make the system (as per my requirements).
Please go ahead and suggest me 1 TB HDD and Good PSU (should be capable to power "GPU/Graphic Card" if add in future) with Good ASS.
I will increase my budget as per.
Thanks

Its JUST 2k over your budget. for photo shop, anything below an i3 is simply crap. If you just want something cheap, get G220 and regret later or invest 2k more in a much much better processor.

Is Antec VP450 ENOUGH for config suggested by harshilshrama63

Antec VP450 way low cost compare to Seasonic S12II 430
Click to expand...

Yes it is enough. If you want something better, get cx500v2 or Seasonic S12II 430 W. Seasonic is more expensive but is a much better product. Since your PC isn't power hungry, VP450 will be completely sufficient.
 
#harshilsharma63
...but I may add GPU/Graphic Card after 1 or 2 years, so at that time does Antec VP450 will be good or need to change PSU to add GPU/Graphic Card at that time?

It also depends on which graphic card you'll be buying. For anything upto HD7790 or GTX 650ti boost, Seasonic S12II 430 W is fine. Above that, upto GTX 760 aor HD7870, Seasonic S12II 520 W is fine and above that, it becomes gpu specific. You should think about how much you'll be spending on the graphic card.
 
.... what is your view about Antec VP450 (Rs.2700/-) upto HD7790 or GTX 650ti boost ?
AS I need to shell Rs.1500/- more for Seasonic S12II 430w (Rs.4200/-)
