Hi. I'm hoping to get some insight on buying a custom computer. I have to admit, I'm not that knowledgeable about all the specs. I found this gaming computer on Craigslist for $600, with monitor. I am using Vegas 7.

Here are the details:

- AMD X6 1045T Phenom II (2.70GHz x 6) 3.20GHz Turbo Core
- Kingston Hyper-X 8GB (2 x 4GB) PC3-1600 DDR3
- Hitatchi 1TB (2 x 500GB) 7,200RPM Hard Drive(s)
- XFX (ATi) HD4890 1GB GDDR5 (w/256bit bus, not slower 128bit)
- Samsung 22x Dual Layer DVD Burner
- Wireless G PCI 802.11a/b/g
- Diablotek Elite Tower w/450w Diablotek
- Gateway 22" LCD Monitor w/ HDMI DVI VGA RGB

He will take off an extra $50 w/out the graphics card. Is that necessary?

Will this be able to handle some heavy HD editing?

Any insight is greatly appreciated.
