Another set of z800 specs for ya

Hi Duke,
Doesn’t look bad for a hobbyist system. The GPU is entry-level, but certainly better than not having any GPU acceleration for Premiere. Remember that you should have a second hard drive just for Video content, either internal SATA or external USB 3.0 also.
Thanks
Jeff

Hey, Jeff, thanks for getting back to me so fast.
The GPU is the same as the one you have on your system, and on the Costco one you recommended, isn’t it?
As for the i7 is 4765T a good one or is that an older processor? Is it as fast as the one you use?
As I said in my followup post it comes with and SSD and I was going to add my internal SATA that I had recently put into my current PC. -
Here are the benchmark tests for my current PC. Would the one I’m interested in far surpass or only slightly surpass this performance ranking?

The Core i7 processors have been around for several years, but each year newer, faster versions come out. I have a Core i7-2600 which is second-gen from 5 years ago.
The one you are looking at is from 2013. Once again, it comes down to this – do you want to save a few hundred bucks and have a used machine with no warranty and lower performance, or go new and have the latest performance and full warranty? I can’t tell you what to do, but your track record with used Ebay machines has not been so great 😉
It’s nice that it has an SSD, however 80GB is pretty tiny (that was the norm in 2013…), and now a “base model” SSD is more like 240GB.

PS – yes, same GTX 745 graphics as new Dell is using

ok so, basically, your core advice (pun intended) is to go with the latest version 8700, ebay refurbs be damned. Got it.
Thanks, Jeff.
