I'm considering using this PC for professional video editing and would love some feedback on whether it's powerful enough. Here are the specs I have:
- CPU: Intel Core i5-13400F 10-core 4.6GHz Turbo
- GPU: Gigabyte NVIDIA RTX 3060 12GB Windforce OC
- Motherboard: MSI PRO B760M-P DDR4 mATX
- RAM: Silicon Power 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3200MHz
- Storage: Crucial P3 Plus 1TB NVMe Gen5 SSD
- CPU Cooler: Ant Esports V4 CPU Air Cooler
- PSU: Ant Esports FG750 750W 80+ Bronze
- Case + Fans: Ant Esports ICE-300 Mid-Tower
I'm specifically looking to do some freelance work, so I need to know if this setup will handle large 4K files well or if I should consider an upgrade.

It really depends on how much money you make from your editing. If saving time is crucial and you're earning a decent income from it, consider investing in more powerful components. Otherwise, it might be sufficient for less demanding tasks.
I’d advise against using a QLC SSD for editing if you're planning on writing a lot of data. Make sure you consider the write speeds for your workflow, as they could bottleneck your performance.
If you're using this for professional work, you might find it a bit lacking, especially for 4K projects. Rendering could be slow, and you'll spend more time waiting instead of working. What’s your budget for this build?
I'm from India and I have an 80k budget for this build. I’m hoping to make it work for freelance projects.
