How Does Your Computer Cope With Your Videos?

Since I had to downgrade my graphic's card...my pc doesn't like to play anything on a decent setting, I either have to run it on windowed mode and hope there is a low quality setting, the game has to be low grade or I hope for the best...I'm waiting to upgrade or fix my old card with a new fan so it dont over heat anymore....

I'm using OS X.8: Mountain Lion, but it's on an older Macbook Pro. It keeps up with basic tasks like internet, word processing etc with no problems and is still pretty good, but it freezes before long with the editing. I have to keep giving Final Cut a rest, haha. I'm eyeing computers with better specs- I miss playing Sims! :D
 
Still have a gaming rig with an I7 here, does its work very nicely.
Think i'll upgrade the year after this one when new processors and graphic cards are out.
 
My PC handles rendering very well thanks to Sony Vegas and the option to use CUDA. I can render a video at near 100fps second (faster than I'm recording at) and a render usually takes 5-7 mins and 720p and double for 1080p.

I can't wait to eventually upgrade my computer- it copes reasonably well with the rendering and editing (although it chugs to a complete halt when I've had the program open for too long), but the hard drive isn't very roomy- since starting YouTube have to clear it out much more often than I would like! I've got an external HDD but would still benefit from upgrading in general- have had my eye on a new computer for a while.

Just made me curious as to how your computers cope with your video editing etc? Have you/would you upgrade specifically for your YouTube hobby/business?

My computer was working FINE until it got zapped in a power outage....twice. :/ So I got it repaired, and ever since, my videos don't PLAY back while editing! I had to render my last video 7 times just to do two little sections of editing, and I had to do it from memory because I couldn't SEE what I was editing lol. It says I need to 'update my driver' yet, my driver says it's all up to date! Sigh I NEED to update my program lol....I need something better then Adobe Elements!
 
It copes great, no over heating. It ets warm, but dosen't overheat! I'd clear out my computer now and again so it won't become a nightmare of slowness. I use an Apple Mac. My videos are in full HD and at data rate: 8000 kbits/sec for highest quality when played in full HD mode on YouTube. Though for extremely long videos at 20+ minutes I'd lower to the HD.

Oh my goodness! Maybe it might be worth doing the editing in 10 second bursts or so then perhaps joining everything together at the end? Might be less time consuming maybe if it's only rendering short parts of the video at a time? :)

6 core Intel i7 overclocked to 4.6Ghz with 64GB of ram and two GTX670s. It blazes through video rendering, but it throws a lot of heat into the room.
