    Hello guys,
    I currently work in after effects to make animated graphs and similar things. I use effects alot in my projects. At first my rig was okay because I used to work on small projects but now the projects are much larger and take 10+ to export a 2m video. I done a research and I found that some people say to upgrade the RAM and some say to have a good GPU if you use effects, etc. I can’t decide which to upgrade. My budget can get me a 32GB kit of RAM or a RX 580 8gb/ similar.
    My current rig does not have a dedicated GPU because I use a Ryzen 2400g. GPU prices were very high when I built the PC due to Bitcoin mining.

    Current Specs:
    Ryzen 2400g
    8GB 3000mhz RAM
    1TB 7200rpm HDD
    Msi B450 tomahawk motherboard.

    Hello Abd Alrahman,

    You can upgrade your ram as After Effects highly depends on it and if you add an SSD and work on it it will significantly increase your performance
