For starters, the Power Director hardware recommendations  are low, given current specs for new PCs, but some PD features, eg NVIDIA Audio/Video Denoise and Room Echo Removal, need a somewhat higher spec'd GPU. I don't think you need an i9, which requires extra cooling capacity, but you want at least an i5 or -better- an i7. The latest Intel CPUs are 13th Gen, so you probably don't want one that's older than maybe 12th Gen. You can never go wrong with lots of storage space and RAM. And, a system with a speedy NVME SSD for Windows and software, plus a big HDD for storing all your vids.   It all comes down to performance vs your budget...
Can you suggest a good value tower PC for 4K video editing and rendering with NO GAMING at all?  I thought without games, I might be able to use a less expensive PC.  Price is around $1700.  I posted here in the XPS area,  but any model or even brand would be good to research.  I use Power Director editing software; each video would be 5 minutes long.  Do I need this configuration:  i9, GPU Nvidia 3600, 3700, 3800, or 4700;  32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, 2TB Hard drive?   Can you offer any advice?  Thank you
