19" LCD Monitor

Video card: ?? Pls suggest

Sound card:
Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi Platinum

3GB DDR2
250 GB SATA IDE
DVD-R/W

Answers:
Adequate yes... you should be able to work in Video/Audio production with that machine assuming you add a video card.

Now talking video card, really what you need depends on what you plan on doing, but for adequate, the ATI x1600 should do and be fairly stable. I'd recommend no less than 256mb video memory, but the more the merrier.

If you're wanting to have Vista on the system, the x1600 will still do for you, but the newer ATI FireGL cards would be better.

Just a friendly little suggestion, get a second monitor and run a side by side screen configuration. When doing any form of visual arts on computers it really helps to have that expanded desktop.
