Honestly wasn’t sure where to put this but got a question - PlugWalker - 02-13-2019
Do you guys know if the digital storm $699 desktop is decent for editing and whatnot?

So for context to anyone reading this thread, the $699 model offered by Digital Storm comes with an RX Vega 11 GPU which is built into a Ryzen 5 2400G processor (technically on-board graphics, but better than traditional on-board graphics).
You could definitely build a much better for the same price that would outperform in pretty much every category. I've also seen many prebuilts that are better for around that price so do what you will with that, maybe search around a bit more.
As for how it would perform if you got it, for editing it would work, but don't expect your render speeds to be anything fantastic when you're done editing. Gaming would be okay however you wouldn't be running many games higher than Low-Medium at 1080p. It also only comes with a 2TB hard drive, so while you'd have plenty of storage for footage you don't have any SSD, so booting would not be fast at all and programs would not be overly snappy, although with 8GB of ram you'd be able to have a fair number of Chrome tabs open while editing your video footage.
To relate this system to more commonly known parts, it would be like having a 4th generation i5 (we're currently in 9th gen) and a slightly more powerful GPU than a GTX 750Ti. Overall, I'd say bad buy.
