Hi and thanks for reading.
I built a PC a couple of years back, really just for general use, but now I'd like to do a bit of video editing (just YouTube stuff on Sony Vegas, not huge quality) and I want maybe a boost in speed as I go to Windows 10 for the first time as well.
The board is an ASRock H170M PRO4S. Currently there is an i3 in it, and I'm operating only at 32 bit. I have an NVidia GTX950 in it.
My question: I think with 16 GB of DDR4 plus an i7 (eg. 6700), I can go to 64bit and should be golden for a couple of years in editing short videos, surfing web, some GIMP, not much else.
Does that sound like a plan to the experts here, or should I get a new graphics card, or even a whole new board right now and rebuild?
I'm not too up on what's out there as I tend to drift out of tech zones for years at a time and wasn't planning to do this yet. I figured I would swing by for the expert opinions before I start the investigations.. thanks for your help!
