Would I notice a huge diff with a benchmark between 6000-8000? If so, where would it be generally?

Impossible to say. You may or may not notice a lag when editing 4K -- but maybe not. There are so many factors.

One of the reviews says that the SSD is too small, that is probably true. the other review says that they replaced the power supply. You don't have to install the OS on the SSD so it really shouldn't matter. The power supply might be an issue to consider. Otherwise it seems like a nice system.

I don't see any specs for a graphics system.

But it looks like a nice hardware set for the price! In fact, it's a lot like my rig.

It should definitely suit your needs.

I just got off with a tech, looks like there isn't a graphics card worth mentioning!!!

I'm stumped when it comes to graphics cards, my current systems has something so minimal, an intel G41 express chipset so of course I'm trying to weigh out the type and importance here..
my runner up to this desktop is
HP Elite 8300 SFF Flagship Business Desktop Computer (Intel Quad-Core i7-3770 up to 3.9GHz, 16GB RAM, 2TB HDD + 120GB SSD, DVD, WiFi, VGA, DisplayPort, Windows 7 Professional) (Certified Refurbished) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074N91KLN/re ... Wzb6G7GG4M
It does have intel HD graphics but scores 600 points lower for its benchmark.. maybe the graphics make it worth it?

I'd stick with the system you're looking at, Mel. As I said, it's like mine, only faster! And, even working with a basic on-board Intel graphics system, I have no problems editing almost any kind of video.

A powerful graphics card could make rendering a bit faster, and it would be a bonus if you planned to do a lot of high-level special effects with HitFilm or After Effects. But, if you're just editing, I'm confident you'll be more than happy with that i7.

As Steve said earlier, most Pro level video editors can use graphics cards to accelerate some processing. But, most consumer versions of the same editors use very little or no graphics acceleration. You haven't said whether you're using a Pro level or consumer level editor. If you are using Vegas Movie Studio instead of Vegas Pro, I wouldn't worry about the graphics card -- you probably don't need it.

Keep in mind that you can upgrade that system later. There should be plenty of room in that tower to add a graphics card should you really need it. You'll probably need to get a larger power supply if you do that though -- the power supply that comes with that system is very minimal.
