New PC

[Pandaman144]

Good morning, afternoon, or evening everyone I am interested in getting a new PC for Christmas, I'll be doing some gaming and light video editing for my college course. I went into Curry's (A UK tech shop) and was recommended this system for my price range https://bit.ly/3xENED3 it features an i3 10100F a GTX 1650 4gb graphics card, and 8GB of ram. (it has an SSD and a hard drive but I'll be adding more storage from my old machine if I get it) I know I'll likely have to upgrade the ram to 16 gigs for the best performance and I'm aware that 10th gen runs quite hot so I'll bear in mind maybe getting a better cooler and more ram with birthday money around February. other than that i think this would work well but id like your opinion please

 

(my apologies if this is in the wrong category, but as the system is a prebuilt I hope it fits here)

Thanks in advance, Panda

It definitely won't be a screamer, but for light editing and gaming it'll be alright. Definitely upgrade to 16GB or more of RAM when you can. I'm not sure I'd pour more money into a cooler unless you run into overheating issues.
