It's decent. It won't be quick at all, but it might work. 

If it's an older MacBook Pro then avoid. I own a 2007 MacBook Pro and it overheats easily even with YouTube. 

I just wouldn't buy an older Mac if I were you.

Wait, so you're getting this iMac and a system with an i7? No matter what i7 it is, it'll swamp this thing, which is an awful, outdated system. The graphics card is ancient, the CPU is a dual core, the thing probably doesn't have a solid state drive unless the previous owner upgraded it. Overall, if you're gonna edit music, this may not feel great, Minecraft will be choppy and laggy at even low details, and YouTube videos will be the only good experience on an iMac this old. Take it from me, someone who owned a model that's almost exactly like this one (and played Minecraft on it)

Minecraft actually runs really well on this imac same from video editing

If you are not dependent on OS X software, and not afraid of linux you can also try lubuntu. It is just as easy to install as ubuntu, and has a really low overhead.

If you consider that machine to be a good experience, or to run well, you will be more than pleased to get your new pc.

I had a gt 1030 machine before this but it almost caught on fire and had an electric issue then surged the whole system

GPU was pulled out before that happened though the ssd might even be bad now even the 8 gb of ram i had and the 2 other hard drives
