Hey guys I am buying a PC for video editing mostly with Adobe products, especially After Effects. I've toyed with the thought of buying a custom made "gaming" computer on Ebay since there are tons built by powersellers. I see a lot with i7 2600K and 16GB RAM and such, but I also see some HP H8 machines (see link below) that offer way better bang for buck by throwing in blu-ray drive with better graphics card, more storage and on and on for far less money. Would these machines be worth purchasing? I'm nervous to buy from a big vendor vs custom made, I feel it would be made from cheaper parts? Heres a look below.

Also, these are i7 2600, i would really like 2600k for the HD3000 vs HD2000 for endcoding videos with handbrake and vlc and such. Any advice is well appreciated, if the HPs will do the job i will buy one and save myself some money. Thank you!
