Question i7-4790 For Video Editing

[oscar.morgan001]

Hey,

I'm looking at buying a cheap prebuilt mainly for photo and video editing, its specs are;

i7-4790 @ 3.4GHz
16gb of DDR3
512GB SSD

It also has a Nvidia Quadro card that I'll probably replace with a 1050ti. It will be used mainly for 1080p video with the very occasional 4K, I'm just wondering if its specs will be able to handle it.

Thanks heaps

What is the price for the pc and what is your current setup

 

[oscar.morgan001]

It costs around $250USD which is pretty decent considering, I'm currently using a i5-5350U with 8gb of ram and Intel HD Graphics 6000.

You use laptop? Cause your cpu is mobile(laptop use). That pc you want to buy is still a good performer for today, and can handle gtx 1070 level gpu. Just look it's upgradebility, cause on some prebuilt pc, you can't change some parts. But it would be better than your system you use right now.

Yeah its a macbook air and the one I'm looking at buying is a dell precision. So would you say it will handle my use case well?

Yeah, it still good parts, for that money. How I say, just check for upgradability. Prebuilt system is different, than you build by your own.
