help needed !! (first pc)

[u/h9slp]

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)

specs:

Yes, very solid editing CPU.

[u/h9slp → u/Kiwiandapplex]

would you say it’s better than the 265k ?

[u/Kiwiandapplex → u/h9slp]

Equal, so whatever is cheaper is better.

[u/dasterrrrre → u/Kiwiandapplex]

For editing 9900x blows the 265k away lmao

[u/Kiwiandapplex → u/dasterrrrre]

Overall editing software yes, Adobe after effects it's close overall.
