Is this build good for schoolwork and video editing? I'm going to basically type essays, surf the web, and do some light video editing. I'm also going to be doing some work with coding and possibly app/game development. Is the gpu overkill for what I'm doing? I'm going to use it exclusively for video editing because I'm contemplating whether I should give up gaming or not. Also, is it alright that I'm going with 2 relatively cheap monitors? Or do I need one of those $330 True Resolution Display Color Color Saturation high tech monitors? Looking to save some money if I can (I'd prefer to keep the mouse and keyboard though because I heard they're really good). Thanks!
