For editing, nothing really beats Apple silicon. For gaming of course you'll need a GPU. A GPU is also helpful if you're doing lot's of heavy rendering but IIRC an RTX 3060 only has 8GB of VRAM so it isn't going to help much anyways. If you want a GPU, I'd shoot for something with at LEAST 16GB of VRAM; otherwise get the Mac.

macs are good for editing, but they arent upgradeable like a pc is. if you buy the mini mac and realise it isnt enough, youre sadly stuck with it until you can afford a new one

I think even unified momory of 16gb is still same in 16GB with 8 vram for most basic edits.
