Pc spec for a learning video editing?

[Tomwin90]

I bought my computer nearly a year ago and it hasn't really had that much use to be fair. I use it mainly for download/watching films & just surfing the web so at the time it seemed good enough for my needs but... i wanna learn how to edit my own videos but can not really afford to buy a new PC atm so would my spec ok just to learn how to use the software?

My PC spec -

Cpu - AMD A8-5500 3.2GHz (Socket FM2) APU Trinity Processor - Retail
Integrated AMD RadeonTM HD 7560D graphics, Quad-Core Technology, 3.20GHz Clock Speed, 4MB L2 Cache, 760MHz GPU Clock Speed, 256 Graphics Cores

Motherboard - MSI A55M-E33 AMD A55 Chipset (Socket FM2) DDR3 Micro ATX Motherboard

Ram - Not sure what make it is but 1x 8gb 1333mhz

Hdd - Western Digital WD20EZRX 2TB Green SATA 3 - 6Gb/s Hard Drive 64MB Cache 8ms

Any idea's as to if this spec would be ok just to get to grip with video editing software?

Thanks

It has a quad core so looks like it would be ok.

Yeah thats fine for entry level editing, your best bet would to research editing applications that are optimized to work with mult-core workstations.
