Understood, already had all that stuff covered beforehand. There's a reason why I ONLY asked about low profile vs. standard. Thanks for trying to help anyway.

It does have one, that's one of the first things I checked.

What if it doesn't have a graphics card?

By bracket, what specifically are you referring to?

That's what I get ^ besides, doesn't really matter once you get the model number.

the PC is an HP Pavilion 510-p024

it does for me

Okay, well thanks for your help anyway.

Thanks for the response. I looked up both monitors. MG279Q will definitely be a consideration for me but that C24FG73 also looks really interesting. Do you by chance know whether curved would be noticeably worse for editing or not?

Most of the 144 Hz panels I see are marketed towards gamers, which makes sense of course but I'll often times see reviews where they also mention things like poor color accuracy. I don't actually know all that much about monitors themselves but as someone who video edits, I do pay attention to things like the levels and saturation for precise tuning. Are there any good 144 Hz panels that would also be good to edit with, hopefully one that doesn't break the bank? Should I just go with a cheap 144Hz panel and get a separate monitor for video editing instead?

Better CPU does not help when you're talking about GPU-only settings like resolution. Only a better GPU will give you better performance at 4k

bump (Hope that's not a necro, waited a bit longer than I realized >.>)

Probably no GPU will bottleneck your CPU anytime in the next few years unless you play games that are extremely poorly optimized on the CPU-end. Right now at least, you're fine with any GPU setup and won't have to worry about your CPU.

I looked at the website and it mentions a setup of an SSD w/ an HDD but what about 2 HDDs in Raid 0? Is there any benefit to be had?
