A broader question would be if gaming computers have the same specs as computers that are used to edit. Any answers would be appreciated, thank you.
The pc looks very good and quite capable of video work with the new PentiumŪ D Processor its good.but you are going to need to increase your ram size and the once you start that you might want to include a few hard drives also.
I noticed you can also include a Samsung SyncMaster which i do recommend whats a great pc without a great screen?

What You Need For Video Work:

#Lots of Space (hard drives)

#Lots of memory (ram)

#Lots of money(hehe)

Graffics card doesnt have to be top class, a middle of the range card will do fine.
Really a computer which is made for video work will be fine also for gaming
