Is this a good video editing system?

Graphics Card
Gigabyte Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 OC 6GB

Hard Drive
Samsung SSD 250GB 970 EVO PLUS NVMe M.2 (for OS and Software)
&
Samsung SSD 500GB 860 EVO SATA (Project files and footage - will add more)

Casing
Cooler Master Masterbox MB501L

Power Supply
Thermaltake Litepower 650 W ATX Power Supply

Thanks!

What does that mean... what kind of file... Standard Definition... High Defintion... 4k video?

SD and HD should work well... 4k video requires a LOT of computing power, and your rig may have problems

Thank you John. We would currently edit Sony A7S I and A7S II 1080p files, but later might switch to 4K version of those cameras. What changes would you suggest for that?

I'm not John, but I would definitely get more RAM installed in that system. Go for at least 32 GB, in this case.

In addition, a higher-end GPU, such as an RTX 2060, would be desirable for that system. The CPU should be adequate for most 4k editing work.
