Hello! So the case is that I'd like to upgrade my hadware, but I'm not sure what to do. I currently have this:
Intel i3 550 @3,2 Ghz (1st generation)
A random Intel H55 motherboard
Kingston HyperX Blu 8GB 1600Mhz (it only runs on 1333 because of the CPU)
Shappire HD7770 OC V2 (tecnically an R7 250X)
250GB Samsung SSD + 1TB WesternDigital HDD
I currently have 2 FullHD displays and a Logitech C910 webcam.
I do kinda heavy video editing, and I'm trying to learn some VFX, but this config is not enough for it anymore.
I'd like to ask your recommendations:
Should I upgrade my PC itself and save some money to get an average laptop which I can only use for school, and you know things I might need to do while I'm not home, but obiviously I can't really do video editing on it.
OR
Completely replace all of these (expect the displays maybe, I'll see) with a really stong laptop which I can do my video editing anywhere, game a bit, and do things fine, but obiviously a laptop will never be as strong as a PC, and it is not so upgradeable. I was thinking about the Lenovo Y50-70 btw, but it's still a bit expensive.
I need a laptop, but I love my PC as well. On the other hand, I don't like heavy and big laptops, if I had the opportunity, I would buy an ultrabook, but I don't have the budget. It shouldn't be more than $900-$1000 for the laptop, even this is a bit much, but I hope my family would help me with it.
Any opinions? I'm afraid if I upgrade my PC, it' still not gonna be strong enough, and I'll have two shitty computers, but what if I can't get a good laptop for the price, and even my current PC would be better than that. I'm really a noob for laptops btw. I haven't had one yet.
(sorry for gramatical mistakes, I'm hungarian.)
EDIT: You might want to consider, that I'm living in a village, so I can't go home easily from the town to just do something on the computer.
