I don't see a video card listed which is important for playing games. Also a price would help in determining if it's "good".

Find a company that knows how to spell "color" correctly.

Oh yeah, ATI Radeon 4890 is the graphics card.
No point me asking you about prices as we get overcharged here compared to everywhere else.

Ebuyer.com is pretty fair.

Ok that's a solid rig. If you feel the price is good compared to what you would pay over there that's a nice upper middle level PC, should be able to run every game no problem.

And video rendering?

i.e. CS4 and Sony Vegas

[StrayRogue]

Get more RAM if you want to render.

Sony Vegas for sure unless it's changed drastically.

It still runs like a champ for me and my box is no where as rigged as the one you listed.

*And like he said the more ram the better. (and it's cheap)

How dare you! Heh Colour is the Canadian/British way of spelling "color". Where is the computer coming from?
