I have a computer from July 2015 that still works great for most anything except AI video which I cannot do at all and I like to edit videos using Davinci Resolve and then Handbrake to compress them. That could be faster. My 2018 HP z244 SFF pc is quicker with a newer i5 cpu.
I am shocked at the ram memory and graphic card prices. The card I was looking at starts at $1,000....! where it would be 1/4 the price a few years ago.
The new pc would be good for at least 10 years. I would run Windows 10 on it : )
New specs. I have not bought as the price would be $1,600+ and that is without the graphics card. The new cpu has video and may be good enough. I do not play video games.

I’m trying to get a new computer, because of what I believe is coming.
It is worth a bit of debt if it means getting a computer that will last at least ten years, under the circumstances that you might not be able to get one soon.
