well he wants a computer for video editing, and hes not doing any crazy editing ( the impression i got), and since he can afford the 7900GTX, why not get it? i mean im sure he will be gaming, why not get a 7900GTX? im not saying it will make a difference, im saying that if hes not doing any crazy video editing, he should get a 7900GTX just to have it and if he is gaming, which he will undoubtedly do, its great.
