Put it this way: yuu can drive around a race track in a Porsche and have bundles of fun; you can also drive aroun the same track in a 1970's mini and have as much fun. Sure, it won't be as fast and it may well breakdown, but it'll get you around the track (eventually).
Because I tinker quite a bit with video editing, I've just treated myself to a new PC solely for editing. It won't be used for anything else. It's not because this is the only way to do it. And it certainly won't make my videos any better (shame). But if you're 'into' something, it makes sense to invest.
So here's the thing. If after spending a few months with your old rig you simply can't get enough of editing, start saving money to upgrade. With your system, you'll only notice a signiifcant improvement with a completely new system (due to the dependancy of components).
So welcome to the world of one of the most expensive hobbies in the world. But just as motor racing includes banger racing, video editing includes Windows Movie Maket. Just because you race a shit car, doesn't mean you can't have the silky smooth skills of Alonso. Just because ypu have an oldish PC doesn't mean you can't produce inspired and innovative video.
