Best processor for rendering, editing with Premiere Pro?

[John Imrie YT]

If anyone can help I will be forever grateful!

I have a Lenovo Yoga Laptop with I believe a single core i7-6500U intel processor, 2.5Ghz, 8GB RAM and a AMD Radeon R5 M430 graphics card. I have been using premiere pro for years to edit my YT videos, but when I try to render using GPU acceleration (the mercury playback renderer I think its called in media encoder) my video turns green and purple, this is my first problem if anyone knows why this may be happening (although rendering using -software only and not the GPU mercury playback- works fine). I'm not sure why this would happen other than needing to upgrade my graphics card potentially or maybe upgrade the processor? Or is it just some settings I may need to change? I have to have render in maximum depth on for it to work fine, rendering software only and in YT 1080 for example will still show green and purple lines over my video.

My biggest problem however is trying to edit un-rendered footage, as you may know you can render the whole project, but then when adding effects etc to a certain scene you need to render it again to actually see what it looks like not to mention where to actually cut the footage when it is lagging all over the place. This is taking up so much time. I have recently bought a go pro hero 7 black and trying to edit the footage without rendering it first is impossible, I'm dealing with some 4k footage and some 240fps footage and cannot even see what's happening in the video before rendering because its so jumpy. Does this mean and this is my guess I need to upgrade my processor to something like a quad core intel i7 processor with around 4Ghz rather than 2.5Ghz with single core, in order to view a video properly (without it lagging and jumping) before I render it. I know you can make start points and end points and render as you go along but I do not have the time, I need to be able to view my clip (video quality doesn't really matter) without the footage jumping and lagging. without having to render as I go along.

I know this sounds quite confusing but if anyone can help I will really appreciate it as I am struggling to edit full stop ATM!

Thanks

John

You will also need much more RAM as well.
