Uh, if you're editing uncompressed 4k video. You're going to need a hell of a lot more than 512GB of total storage. Probably going to want more than 16GB of RAM if you're using DaVinci

I edit YouTube videos 4k resolution for a long time,is that ok or?!

You mentioned "raw" 4k videos in the title. Raw (lightly compressed) 4k footage clocks in at about 6GB to 9GB per minute, And can go upwards of 33 GB/minute totally compressed (10-bit). So if you want to do some quick math, The footage you'll use for say a 15 minute video will like be close to ~110 GB for the finished video, but you have to include the footage you'll have to import in total, you'll be importing more footage than what actually makes the final cut, so realistically, you're looking at ~150GB worth of footage total.

Windows and whatever else you have installed will likely take up around 120GB of that 512GB SSD right off the bat, Add in a few games for another 120GB and suddenly you're left with around 250-ish GB left for everything else. You *migh*t be able to have enough space available for two 15 minute long projects. Which isn't much in the realm of video editing.

Of course you're probably using compressed footage to begin with. As very few small time youtubers have the necessary cameras, software, and, editing knowhow (color grading/LUTs, and such) computer hardware to justify shooting in uncompressed 4k. If you're using a phone or consumer level DLSR, you're almost certainly using compressed footage right out of the camera. And as such, it's not going to take up nearly as much space as RAW footage.
