So I'm looking for a budget pc and I came across this on Newegg. Should I get these refurbished models and Is a GTX 1060 3 GB good enough for 1080p Editing in Da Vinci Resolve?

1080p 30fps or 60fps? Because my 4GB RX 580 fares very well on Davinci Resolve, but I can only confirm that for 30fps. I think it did quite well on 60fps, although it mainly uses VRAM so a 6GB card would be preferable.

 

Especially on 4K editing Resolve needs more VRAM.

This is only for playback, for rendering Resolve still uses mostly CPU. You could always totally 'generate optimized media', which does.. What you would expect from a name like that; it makes video content that is easier to play (which does take some time and mostly uses up HDD, or CPU, depending on how fast your HDD is or if you use an SSD, it will mostly use CPU).
