My HP Compaq Pro 6305 desktop computer (which I bought refurbished for $140) has been going strong for about four years, but it's not exactly powerful. It would overheat if I were to allow the processor to run at its full capacity, and it can't even preview edits in Vegas properly, because it isn't powerful enough to play the video preview without freezing. I'm thinking that it may be time to look for something better. I always buy refurbished, as that's the best way to get the most bang for my buck.
Here are the specifications of what I need:
Here are the specifications of what I need:
- I'm looking for a desktop computer on its own (no monitor - I plan to get that separately).
- It must have Windows 10.
- I'm on a limited budget, so I don't want anything over $400 (ideally, not over $300).
- Hard drive space doesn't matter, as I plan to replace the hard drive. I also plan on putting in my own Blu-ray burner, so the disk drive doesn't matter either.
- I'm mainly looking for something with a powerful enough processor, graphics, etc, to edit 1080p Blu-ray video with ease. It would be nice if it was powerful enough to play (and maybe even edit) 4K video as well, but that would just be a bonus, and I'm not sure if that's possible in my price range.
