Hey guys,
I am currently trying to build another PC primarily for editing on Adobe After Effects as I make pretty heavy edits for Fortnite teams, and for some school projects.
I'm deciding whether I should go for the Intel i5 8400 or Ryzen 5 2600 for rendering. My PC lags a lot when I use RSMB, Magic Bullet Looks and my pc is not able to handle any of the modern day editing tasks anymore, and the rendering times take longer than usual (35-45 minutes) I also don't know what Ram to get aswell, because my ram previews on After Effects are unbearably slow with RSMB in my videos. I was thinking 16 GB of 3000 Mhz Corsair Ram but I'm still unsure.
The new graphics card I will be getting is the Asus ROG Strix 580 because it is at a good price atm, but I've also heard of GPU rendering and I hope the 580 can do that.
New PC budget: Around 900-1100 CAD
My Current PC
Intel i7 6700, 16 GB Samsung ram, Asus Maximus Viii Impact Mobo, Gigabyte R9 380X
Please leave any suggestions, I just want After Effects to run very smoothly and to render fast!
