I've priced this out at about $890 after cashback on some items on Tigerdirect.com and would love to find a way to get this closer to or even under 800$.

Any other suggestions on the build would be greatly appreciated as well. I'm particularly interested in wether I can/should reuse my old OCZGXS600 Watt power supply or just buy something new. I'm also considering purchasing a new case so could use suggestions on something that is inexpensive but is quiet (the fans in my current case are driving me nuts) and has good airflow. An SSD drive is also of importance to me so any suggestions on that choice would also be particularly helpful. THanks!

Just get a Core i5 750, AFAIK, Photoshop doesn't use HyperThreading. Also, buy a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus and overclock it for a bit more performance. Your old 600W PSU should be fine. As for a new case, a Cooler Master HAF 922 would be a good choice.
