I just got this from Newegg and literally came in an hour ago. Fired right up and I'm impressed with. Don't know if it's good for video editing, but its sale for 2k after the site promo code.

Only thing I had to do was put in another SSD, but the case is awesome. Just magnetic door that swings open. None of the cables were loose or anything, and not a single scratch or dent. I was a little apprehensive buying a pre-built but I'm glad I did.

That only has 32GB of ram? It would have been SO much better with 33!

It's surprisingly quiet. Honestly thought it was going to end up sounding like a spaceship taking off when I fired it up. It's nice to be able to put everything on ultra though. Rogue Trader was stuttering in any sort of cutscene, but now it's smooth as silk. I just didn't realize how old and outdated my other computer was, but it's definitely a night and day difference.

That PSU above is the 2025 model, I jsut chose the wrong one on Pc Partpicker.

This is the “trap” I fall into, start to do an incremental upgrade and then figure I might as well do a whole build because either the wife or the kid could use a hand me down upgrade or we need a media PC for one of our half dozen TVs.
