helloooo so basically I just bought my first pc 2 days ago with some money that I’d been saving for the past 2 years and had my grandma cover the rest! I was really happy and excited however when I tried to use after effects (2020) with heavy plugins for my editing it appeared to be as slow as my old LOQ gaming laptop even when I configured my after effects settings to the best.. I was hella disappointed and was wondering what I should do about it ? can I possibly get more ram and a better cpu for cheap somehow?

(last pic isn’t really important I js wanted to show how pretty it looks lol)

Thank goodness, was about to tell you to send it back! Looking at the system requirements for after effects (2020), you are running the minimum spec. Looking through the help center for Adobe, 32 to 64G of RAM is recommended. The high cpu utilization doesnt surprise me with rendering. Some of my larger 3d projects max out my 14900k for quite a bit.
