What is your graphic card on that model?I use a 2018 XPS15 (i7, upgraded to 32gb ram and 2 TB SSD). It handles 4k videos with no issues.
Wow I always thought that graphic card is most important for video projects.Its the Geforce 1050Ti Max Q.
But video card is barely used for video, has very little effect unless you're rendering special effects. Video work is almost entirely CPU based.
you need to read this link very carefully. i think one item that is important - card needs to have min 8gb RAM. that is why i went with 5700xt which if cheaper and faster than nvidia - but - who knows.Well i decided to ditch laptop and want to build PC.
Still i dont want to spend much money so i will decide for rtx 2060 6gb/rtx2060 super 8 gb/rtx 2070 8gb.
Now i am wondering about CPU. Do i really I need i7? Can i get i5? For example i have here extremely cheap i5 9400f with 6 cores 2,9 ghz-4,1 ghz or Ryzen 5 2600X also with 6 cores 3,6 ghz-4,2.

My budget doesn't matter cuz i wish i could have those prices in Poland. Sad part is that here where i live we are earning minimun 3 times less then people in America and we have like 20 % more expensive computer components. For example in Poland ryzen 3900X cost more then 600$Smart choice, IMO.
What's your budget? I would happy put one together for you on PCPartPicker.
As for CPU I'd suggest something from the Ryzen 3000 series - they have surpassed Intel in IPC and are the no-brainer value choices at least until next year when Intel changes their value proposition.
Something like this would be huge performance for the dollar with quality components and maximum manufacturer warranty on parts. It'll also be extremely quiet. Then buy a $5 Windows 10 key on Ebay:

Could add a better GPU if you wanted, up to you. Could also save some money on the CPU but the 3900X is just so tempting because performance per dollar is off the charts.
