@ OP - look at your basic requirements :

I will be using some Photoshop and editing stuffs in basic level.

1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run? (Generic answers will not work. Be exact and avoid the word 'et cetera.')
Ans: Gaming, Multimedia, Browsing, basic editing stuffs.

3. Planning to overclock?
Ans:I have No idea. But if improves the Processor then i wud like to. WIll learn

4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans:Windows and Ubuntu. (Both in a SIngle PC)

11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: My basic use is gaming and browsing. The games shud run pretty decently. Am confused as i shud go with Intel-2400 or 2500k or AMD anyone (Better value for price)

all of those above tasks can be done easily of both PC and laptop - but if you honor gaming and want to run present and future game titles with decent settings opt for PC - overall PC is still best for gaming

Regarding cpu - if your budget allows ( read around ~45k ) go for 2500k ( if offers great performance with OCbility ), if you are on a tight budget and don't want to Oc then core i5 2400 but if you want to learn OCing ( and get going in the thrilling world of OC ) and still don't want to break the bank then 955BE is what you need - just try to get a good gpu along with it
