How many gigs of ram do you have? What are you using Photoshop for? You do not need a fast GPU to run photoshop unless you use those specific features, check here:

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.

get GTX1050 or Ti version, 750Ti is hard to find now

i3-4150 is enough, it is hyperthreading as 4 core, unless you are doing CaD, then perhaps you should consider i7 core.
photoshop is not so demanding on CPU but with a GPU help, it sure helps the smoothness. I also doing simple photoshopping myself and not having problem

Like the others said, your ram is clearly the issue here, you need a 64bit windows to use more than 4gb ram.

Also, your CPU has i3-4150 has 3.50ghz base frequency which should be more than enough for Photoshop.
GPU will help if you need the features that make use of GPU power:
Any decent GPU will do if you're not using those features, but then again, if you are running on a low-end on-board graphics, even windows ui will not run smoothly, so...

RAM will help with Photoshop's "cache", if your ram is not enough, Photoshop will resort to use "scratchdisk" instead, something like pagefile and relies on Harddisk speed, that will have a huge impact on performance unless your running off ssd, which should help a little bit. Like I said before, editing high resolution photos will fill up the ram pretty quickly, how much ram you need depends on your workloads, it's better to observe yourself.

CPU is also important but as long as you meet its system requirements you will be fine. Again, better CPU will speed up processing time, like when you apply filter/effects/etc, a good CPU will shorten the time it needs to process.
