Without knowing your pricing it's hard to suggest any specific hardware, but if you are trying to keep costs down then you can always buy lower spec equipment and upgrade later. So, RAM, graphics and hard drives can always be added/ upgraded at a later date. Maybe buy a smaller hard drive (approx 120GB) and down-spec the VGA card in the web/ Photoshop machine - neither of these apps will rely heavily on the VGA anyways.

 

With your monitor, rather than buying two 17" monitors, why not buy one 21" and a KVM switch. Connect the two PC's to the one monitor.

 

Once you've got some more money to spend on the system; buy another monitor, some more RAM and a couple of hard drives.

 

For your Photoshop PC sys requirements, from the Adobe site:

 

• 1.8GHz or faster processor
  
• 512MB of RAM (1GB recommended)
  
• 1GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on flash-based storage devices)
  
• 1,024x768 display (1,280x800 recommended) with 16-bit video card
  
• Some GPU-accelerated features require graphics support for Shader Model 3.0 and OpenGL 2.0
