Seems pretty good, though not sure how powerful the gfx is.

Thanks for the reply! Not overly concerned with GFX as I wont be gaming on it, have a console for that.

Primarily will be used for photo and video editing, and the usual internet usage and dvd conversion. Want something that wil have no hassle handling any of this, as well as being decent enough spec to last a few years at least.

So long as you clean the fans regularly it should last a while with that cpu and HD.
