Hi every buddy welcome to Flimlion VisualFX , as work better in after effects this is very important to have a High End PC. Which handles all types to graphics work like 3D , rendering, RAM preview etc. But 70% of people are owning basic computer with low configuration. But these days people are loving to work in After Effects and the are wondering to purchase a new PC. But according to their budget they are confused , that which configuration is best for them.
In my opinion i will suggest to buy an 7th gen Intel Core i7 Processor, with Nvidia Geforce GTX1080 Graphics Card, 32GB of RAM with 32mhz Speed and a SSD as a primary drive. If you will buy this expensive setup i grantee you will work in after effects as a pro. But all people have not exactly same budget so below i am sharing the official Adobe After Effects System Requirements for PC and MAC.
