new pc minimum specs

P.s. sorry for the godawful grammar, I send all these messages from a Samsung s4 mini which seems to really struggle!
 
Ok final call. I'm going to buy the above Acer unless advised otherwise. It has a crap graphics card, decent memory, adequate processor I hope! (i5 5200). If I'm making a mistake and about to spend £500 on a machine that is going to struggle editing blu rays in Sony Vegas pro 13 please tell me now! :-o
 
Should be ok. Desktop will always be quicker and a safer bet. But I have a laptop with an i7 4510U - not too much faster than the i5 5200 - and it is wickedly fast! Melts the battery when running full tilt, but when you need the power it's there.
I run it with an SSD though, with an external HDD, so that keeps the speed up.
I also have not done any HD editing with it, so I have no idea if it'll keep up.

Anyone got a similar rated CPU and does HD editing??

Here's a =2440&cmp[]=2570&cmp[]=2248]link to CPU performance comparison: your CPU (i5 5200U), my CPU (i7 4510U) - fairly similar, and then the i5 6600K "Skylake" desktop processor which is 33% faster per core and is also quad core rather than dual, hence the much higher rating.
 
Sorry to hijack the thread, but I'm in the same predicament. I need to get a new pc for editing, and ive come across this one:

Would this one be a good spec to edit on

Yes. That has more than enough horsepower to edit.
 
For gaming its all about the video card. Editing video really benefits from a good processor and RAM.
