    [Mike Poliskey] “I’m gonna buy a new PC to work with Premiere Pro and After Effects. My budget is around 1500 $ excluding monitors. I got this config suggestion from another forum. Could you please take a look and advice if it’s ok for beginning?
    I7 6700K
    Gigabyte Z170-D3H zł
    Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250
    samsung ssd 850 pro 256
    Toshiba DT01ACA300 3TB
    GTX TITAN
    2 x Patriot Viper 4 16GB DDR4
    EVGA SuperNOVA 650 P2, 650W
    Noctua NH-D14”

    I’d consider a larger power supply, but that looks pretty decent otherwise.

    [Mike Poliskey] “I found some info that some cards (gtx 750 ti for example) do not support ray tracing in AE? is it something I should consider?”

    No. The ray-traced renderer is considered dead by Adobe. They do not plan to develop it any further. There are some third-party plugins that use the GPU (Element 3d, Red Giant Universe, etc.), AE has a few effects that are accelerated by the GPU, and Premiere uses the GPU a lot, so worry about those things and not the ray-traced renderer.
    A Titan should be plenty for most use ?

    [Mike Poliskey] “…you guys mention above multiprocessing – I understand you owe two versions. But is it possible to buy v.14 yet? As I can see the last one only on adobe’s site.”

    A Creative Cloud subscription includes CS6, CC, CC 2014, CC 2015, CC 2015.3, and the next release of AE (that is “coming soon”). You will be able to install all six of them on the same machine alongside each other with no issues if you have a CC subscription.

    I’m back as I’ve got some problem.
    I have my new PC with almost the same configuration as mentioned above (just gtx 1060 instead of titan). AE 2017.
    There is a basic composition with a single FHD clip (8sec) – when I make it 3d it extremely slows down. Even with quarter quality preview takes ages, ram preview is loading around 3 frames per 2 seconds. CPU runs ~99%. Is it something wrong with my computer or is it normal and I should not expect more??
    Seems like work is not possible in this case…

    Please advice
