This computer has 64GB of ram tested through a whole 4 hour pass of
memtest86, and htop shows it using next to none of that RAM.

I'll tell you what: If it weren't for the video, this would be a really
kick ass machine. Its six cores map to 12 in htop and gkrellm. Running
Chromium with several youtube movies playing uses up maybe 5%. On my
current Daily Driver Desktop (DDD) such activities take about 70% of
the CPU.
