I did Unigine Heaven Benchmark test and NovaBench test, I just wanted to know how better is my PC and what ca I do to make it faster? When compared using Novabentch online scores, my PC stands with Intel i3 PC's.
Results: Bentchmark
Also NovaBentch results: NovaBentch Score

What software do you use to edit your videos?

Fast storage tends to help video editing, do you have a SSD?

I use Adobe Packages, I don't have SSD. All I have is 1TB + 500GB HDD (internal) and 2TB (external) HDD

Have you enabled Cuda in the adobe programs? That can utilize your GPU to help with performance.

I would suggest getting a SSD to start, the system will be able to read the video files you are working with much quicker.

Cool, well if the Cuda performance is important then you could always upgrade to one of the higher end nvidia cards.

As Robcrezz pointed out, an SSD will give an immediate speed boost, typically they can read and write data tot he disk 400% faster or more.
you also have room to upgrade the CPU but that is more costly and little more involved.
I dont know how much Ram you have but adding more can help performance as well as it gives your computer more room to lay everything out on the table as it was. I use adobe a lot at work and I found upgrading my Ram had a noticeable impact.

Ah.. I recently bought one, GTX750 LP, but in future I'll buy SSD for sure.

I completely agree with you. I have 8 GB RAM. I have to get a SSD. When I think of upgrades, I have a huge list! Can't get them all..

LOL I know its terrible. no matter what you get there always seems to be more and more to get. it never ends :)
Make sure sure when you do upgrade your RAM to get sticks that match exactly what you have now for best performance.
and for the CPU, be SUPER careful if you installed it with the factory applied thermal paste that comes on the Stock heatsink. They always slather way to much on so when it comes time to remove the heat sink it usually winds up ripping the CPU out of the socket with it.

Thats true, once my PC was going up to 80-85 degrees Celsius and would shut down; I put paste and cooler master Processor Fan. Well another confusion is that I have 2 x 2GB 1333 MHz RAm and one 4GB 16000 MHz RAM, would it work well? PC shows 8 GB, I never know its speeds up or not

Well in a perfect world you would like all your RAM matching, right down to the size of the stick. Thats the best way to rule out an errors. however it's a very expensive way to go about things as most people will upgrade over time and you wind up with mix and match. Since you have some that are 1333 an one that is 1600 your system defaults to the slowest speed so all your RAM is running at 1333. for better performance make sure the pair of 2 gig sticks are in the same channel, If you have four slots they should be two different colors. make sure the 2 gig sticks are on the same color. If they are all the same color then make sure the 2GB ones are not directly next to each other. So first slot 4GB, second slot 2GB, 3d slot empty, fourth slot 2 GB. Its still possible for issues to happen with mixxed pieces but if you havent had any problems then luck smiles on you. If you cant get them all at the same time, try to keep them as close as you can, same brand an model an latency ect..
