Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Can you get a K suffix processor? It actually does help in the event of troubleshooting, when your discrete card is out of the picture. PSU wise, you should be looking at a reliably built(similar to the SuperFlower) 1.2KW unit.

For video editing, you don't need extra storage, i.e, in the form of a large capacity HDD?
