WTH include a deepcool tesseract and R7 250 in such cheap PC when OP and no intend for gaming? Stop this BS. :facepalm:

My suggestion:

i3 4130 (6700)
Gigabyte GA-H81M-S2PV H81 (4230)
Corsair Value Select 4 GB 1600 MHz (2600)
Any local cabinet (1000)

total: 14530

As you will be using PS only a littly bit so there is no need of FX processor and a discreet graphic card. i3 4130 will serve all your needs and also cost less.
