PC Specialist offers are interesting if you want a full HD display and a Haswell Core i7, they're not really competitive at entry-level or medium range laptops.

Here's a Fujitsu laptop with similar specs for €615 @ LD.

Of course, the GT 740M is the better graphics card but certainly not worth paying €170 more, because it is not really a gaming GPU and wouldn't make much difference for Photoshop.

If I had the choice between the two, I'd get the Fujitsu and invest the savings in a 240 GB Samsung 840 SSD.
