that looks like a beast of a computer, (i dont know what microworld is), but for photoshop editing it will be fine.

what kind of photoshop work?

it might be a bit overkill you see. If its for large print size Photoshop documents then it would be a valid build, if its just for screen based photoshop documents (like web deisgn) and photo editing, you could use a less powerful computer and save your money.

If you dont play games you will most likely want a cheap GPU like this (but im not 100% so wait for other replies) -

although if you spent £80 on a GPU (graphics card), you could get a nice second hand one (within warranty) in the members market, which would allow you to play games.

Thank for your help
 
Im guessing this is a pre built from somewhere else?
Whats your actual budget? And would you be willing/able to build yourself? Or do you want prebuilt?
