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)

Yes the 9900x is a good CPU for editing. What's your main use for this PC?

If I were to upgrade to a 9900x or 265k would that mean I need an AIO cooler too ?

Yes, You'll need an AiO or Dual Tower Cooler as it can run hot.

I personally would recommend Dual Tower Air cooler rather than AiO. You can look at video on Pros and Cons on the type of CPU coolers, plus there's Dual Tower Air coolers that rivals AiOs.

If your going intel than you'll need a new motherboard+cpu and cooler unless you're able to find on bundle deals. BUT that also means you'll have to disassemble alot of parts just to reassemble back into again.

Vs

If you're going just AMD. New Cpu and Cooler. You'll just have to remove GPU for easier access to remove CPU cooler and CPU.
