I have 16gb ram and running current i3 4150
I realise that my photo editing even using simple mode isnt smooth compared to my previous athlon which is lower in spec.
If you edit high resolution photos your ram will get filled up very quickly, check your task manager and make sure it's not the ram causing the issue.
Check CPU usage as well, if it is always Photoshop's usage is always 99% then it could be the CPU speed.
Also note that the system requirements says they recommend GPU with 2gb vram, so any GPU with that amount of vram will give you a performance gain.
Before buying a new GPU, go to your BIOS setup, and look for settings that would give more vram to your onboard GPU, check and see if that helps.
