Question Wanting to buy a new computer (???)
Hi all

ok so i am now sick of using my family computer, and want to get one thats a little more specific for my needs...

i have been looking at ones on ebay and would like to know what you all think first...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/XBLADE-E2180-D...QQcmdZViewItem

i want to use it mainly for video editing stuff (after effects etc) music stuff (cubase) and gaming (i know the graphics card is not great, but i am planning on upgrading it to a 8800GT after buying the computer.

does the computer look any good? (specs wise)
and will it be able to hande a 8800GT graphics card?

i emailed the guy selling them and they say the motherboard is PCI-E enabled btw.
but i dont know any more information on the PSU than the fact that it is 450W.

Thanks in advance
