I've been told the minimal requirements for a solid Premiere Plus machine is  a gaming computer with:

8GB RAM, but preferably 16

4GB/VRAM

SSD: 512 GB

HDD: 1TB

 

Is that so?  I have some fiscal flexibliity, but not much; I'm out to strech my dollars to the maximum extent.  I could raise my price bar, but let's start at $600.  Not many sales a re going around at the monet, vyes, but we are where we are.

Low cost is always important.  And that computer may work.  But working well and working are not the same.  That one has the HDD space and RAM for video editing.  But that particular CPU is slow.  https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i7-7500U+%40+2.70GHz&id=2863

Try this one... It has the RAM, the CPU and a large HDD.

Would this be of similar quality?  It may not be, but I am trying to find the lowest cost solution, possible.

No it is a dual core. You need a quad core preferably with hyperthreading.

Your ASUS does not have enough SSD space or RAM for me.   I think that the primary drive needs to be twice that and RAM should be at least 12.  With the larger SSD, you would still need an external drive to store completed projects.

Is this for Elements or Pro?

Either way HDD need to be a SSD too.

HDD is only usefull for backup.

Looking for video-editing software; my pardon, but I thought that was obvious.  Are Plus and Pro the difference between image manipulation, and video editing?

 

I'm aiming to make talk-heavy Youtube Videos; political commentary,they could be over twenty minutes, but I'm thinking of their running around ten minutes or so, beginning. 

 

Wasn't told that CPUs/GPUs were video-editing benchmarks.

Premiere Elements is consumer level.

Premiere Pro is professional level and only by subsciption.

I have a laptop with i7 CPU, 16 GB RAM and the rest of your specs.  It works well for Premiere Elements and Premiere Pro.  My videos are typically less than ten minuets.  Premiere Elements does not use a GPU.  

 

CPUs on the Passmark list that score about 7000 and higher work pretty well for video editing.
