So, Photoshop or video editing? I see you have both programs. How much video editing will she do compared to photoshop or gaming? That can change the overall build by a hundred or more $$

She will be doing more Photoshop than video editing, so mainly photo and gaming. Yes the price can go up a hundred if needed. Price includes windows 10 though., but not perferials. So try your best to stay under 1500

The PC needs:

i7 from a recent gen.

16GB RAM.

GTX 950 or above ( R9 370 or better in AMD's equiv ).

I like it, but the PSU wattage is too low for my comfort. At least 700w for the 390

It only consumes 450W total at 100% load. That 80+ Gold PSU will be great.
