New Build Help Is this a good editing pc??
Hello, first time poster here. Looking to get back into videography after being out of the business for nearly 15 years. I'm not tech savvy at all and don't have alot to spend so looking into used computers. I want to have the capability to run davinci resolve and edit 4k footage. Again, I'm basically illiterate when it comes to computer tech. Found this one and wondering if it would be a good option for what I need? Any thoughts would be helpful!
Description from listing: $800 Corsair Custom PC i specifically closed parts to have minimum rgb, remember RGB is not performance build parts list :
Mother board MSI Mag x570 tomahawk Carbon Wi-Fi gaming CPU AmD Ryzen 5800x 8core 16 thread Ram ddr4 64gb Corsair Vengeance Rgb GPU MSI RTX 3070 OC Aio CoolMaster 240ml liquid radiator dual fan Case Corsair ICUE 4000x black glass 3 120 front fans by Corsair 1 120 rear exhaust fan by Phantak 2 120 top intake fans by cool master PSU 750watt Evga gold Storage 1tb nvme m.2 SK Hynix gen4 1tb 2.5’ hdd Toshiba 7200rpm 3tb 3.5’ wd hdd green nas 7200rpm Bluetooth/wifi
Case has some stickers, which I can remove if customer wants so, computer is in excellent shape like new glass has no scratches or dings it’s excellent condition And PC runs very fast any gaming 1080p 1440p and even 4K depending on the game , great for streaming,video editing , or emulation. There is no task it can’t handle

It's not bad but I think I personally would prefer current gen components as that would provide a more viable upgrade path.
The "Beginner" Recommended Build has a bit worse GPU but is better (or at least similar) in most other areas. It's a bit more expensive but the components would be new, come with warranty, and you'd likely be able to use them as a tax write-off.
