I'm a beginner and I would like to know if my current computer will suffice in doing basic video editing, especially I need to know if my onboard Intel graphics will suffice and under what conditions. My system is as follows:

Windows 10

8GB of ram

i7 Haswell CPU

H97 Gigabyte Motherboard Board With Onboard Graphics

THANKS!

I'm not 100% certain but a dxdiag might tell those in here much more about your set up and thus assist them in determining a response to your inquiry.

Go to this link:

read down to the dxdiag part - part B I think - and try to supply that - then you should see some responses.

Depends in what format you will edit. For HD looks like you will be ok. A GPU card like the GTX 960, etc can make a huge difference in rendering time.

I mostly edit in 4K, no problems with my setup, noted below. The 5 year old setup only works because of using Shadowfiles.

Your integrated video has the 3rd gen Intel Quick Sync. It might be enough or not depending on what you will do with it.
This generation of Quick Sync supports encoding in the the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, VC-1 and H.262/MPEG-2 Part 2 video standards.
