Hi
Which configuration will work better with photoshop/lightroom use, potentially with some background tasks like antivir or music etc.

i7-2670QM (2.2 GHz, 6 MB Cache)
4gb RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M (DirectX11, SM 5.0, PureVideoHD)

or

i5-2430M (2.4 GHz, 3 MB Cache)
8gb RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M (DirectX11, SM 5.0, PureVideoHD)

Thanks
 
The i7. 2x as many cores so for SOME things, it will be nearly 2x as fast.

The choice of graphics card is currently immaterial for PS/LR usage.
 
The i7

IF you can upgrade the RAM to 8Gb
