i built this pc approx 6 years ago

https://www.cnet.com/products/asus-p8z77-v-motherboard-atx-lga1155-socket-z77/specs/

i5 processor

8gb ram

using onboard hd3000 graphics only

120gb ssd

i have never had a problem until yesterday when trying to edit some gopro footage using gopro quik software. the lag made it virtually impossible to even play a video. the video plays ok using win10 video player

i suppect it is the onboard graphics which is the weakest link (its also running dual monitors) can anyone comment or advise on tweaking bios or a suitable budget graphics card
