are gaming pc good for doing 3d graphics.(modelling, sculpting, rendering)
I'm just wondering for future purchases.

This thing is way overpriced for a 3d machine. I paid $2800 for my from Dell(dual quad xeon, 4gb, xp pro, quadro fx570) I cheaped out on the graphic card but it works fine fow everything I've done with it.

There is nothing wrong with gaming computers just that one is a too expensive for the features. Solid state drives sound cool but disk drives and external are cheap right now, you can get a Tb for a round $230. The most important things I think are graphics card for display, memory, and cpu cores for render speed.

If your talking about the computer review, yeah its over price. Their website has a lot of features to customize your gaming pc, even thought some features are just ridiculous such as computer lights

I don't think even 3 graphics cards require two 1000W power supplies. And for "non-gaming 3D graphics" only one of them required. Also I don't think Blue Ray burner is very necessary. And the last source of overpricing are 2 solid state drives. I don't understand why they need for gaming too.

Result is - 4GB RAM and Core 2 (not even Quad core) Extreme for $5800. There are many ways to spend such amount of money with more fun.
In America at $2800 you can get 8-way 2GB Mac Pro.
