For what you want to do (and given the budget), it should be ok. Overall, the performance of the A12-9600 should be between that of a modern dual core Core i3 and Core i5 CPUs; depending on what benchmarks you run. I do not use Photoshop, not even for editing, so I do not know what performance you will get.

For playing games, it should be fine. The Radeon R7 (Bristol Ridge) graphic core should generally be about equal to the nVidia 930m which means it is better than the Intel HD 620 graphics core that is in Intel's current 7th generation Core series CPUs.
