Quote ... I need to purchase a new desktop PC...

... I’d like to spend about £500 max on the PC itself (ideally
less), since I need also to buy a monitor, keyboard and OS...

... It seems my laptop is actually pretty good (for a laptop, and at that
price) for the job, as indeed to shop assistant told me at the time...

...want:An SSD, say of 240GB An
HDD of just one TB, and store mainly on a couple of external H Drives
as backups anyway. In fact I’m tempted to save money here and not even
have an HDD, just the SSD....

...but when googling for ‘Video editing PC’ (i.e. finding a shop-ready PC rather
than self-building) the results are mainly way above my budget...

..I am thinking I will not need Blu-ray capability.One specific question regarding using Powerdirector 14 on the PC...

... Thank you very much in advance.

Buddy SSD 240GB is not enough. Actually, i am an avid gamer and recently I build a pc for gaming and i used Samsung 850 EVO 1TB because read-write speed is stellar and it comes with a decent warranty but for more choices you can visit this source: https://www.reviewsed.com/
