Unless you really need the full power of CS6, then I'd also seriously consider Elements instead. Whilst there is no doubt that it is great tool for editing, it also has a massive learning curve, and requires a top end PC as well.
There are some features that aren't in Elements (can't remember exactly which), but for most it's pretty good.
You might also wish to conside Lightroom, which I find i use most of the time now.
