i7 certainly improves processes in Photoshop. Whether it's justified, depends how much your doing. If doing a lot, i7 good, but it's a bit of a judgement call. By the way, there's no need to increase CPU cooling, or power supply in option 2.

Photo/video editing eats RAM. Stick with 16GB. Thinking about it, you may be better to use 2x8GB, rather than 4x4GB, then it's easier to upgrade to 32GB, if you find you need to. I'm not kidding, it's perfectly possible to use 32GB, in CS6.

It all comes down to HOW MUCH you are doing in CS6/Lightroom. If it's only the occassional 5 min Utube video, option 1 will be fine (yes EVO cooler, not Plus. I missed that one)
If you are doing LOADS in Photoshop, option 2, except the cooler & PSU from 1. Do go with 2x8GB, in case you need more, later.

Thanks a lot peeps~
