Never heard of the brand of PSU. i recommend you get a well-know brand.
Which country are you buying from?0 -
LC power is a German brand. They make PSUs

They make good value for money products.0 -
This seems basic to me.
It might struggle which bigger files when it comes to rendering if you are planning to do video editing.
For graphics it should be okay.0 -
Very little (very basic, putting text and simple graphic on videos) to almost none video editing will be done. Mostly graphic design (Photoshop, Lightroom and Illustrator opened at the same time ), a lot of opened tabs on browser (100 tabs) and for programing (Web development).
What would you change in configuration?0 -
Avoid the AMD, terrible single thread rating and uses far too much power, slow memory architecture, it's a 125w cpu that using all 8 cores that is only fractionally faster than the 4 core 65w i5-5675C which I mentioned to you here and is the same price from that retailer. AMD are miles behind Intel on their performance per watt. If you use the intel solution a good 450w PSU is more than adequate.

Edit
From that retailer that is an excellent price for the i5-5675C and I'd snap their hands off at what they are offering it for.
Here is a comparative benchmark:

For that you need Intel i7 core processor.
Photoshop and pretty much all programs in Adobe suite takes whatever threads you throw at them.
i7 will be better at handling these heavy programs.
I would also increase the Graphics card to dedicated at least 4GB ram.
As you will be using multiple programs at the same time. Increase your Ram to 32GB and forget all about it.0 -

Don't underestimate those broadwell cpus, they have iris pro graphics and if you are using a dedicated GPU then all that lovelly 128mb eDRAM gets used as a L4 cache right next to the cpu which is great for large multimedia files. Sadly it's currently lacking from the Skylake desktop CPU line.Science isn't exact, it's only confidence within limits.0 -
only 100 tabsDon't you dare criticise what you cannot understand0
