    Hi everyone,
    need help.
    My old PC is 8 years old and it’s fighting hard with my new lumix S1H files. I use proxy but it’s not fluyd anyway, computer crash often and doesn’t export if I use too much effects.

    I use most of all Adobe After Effects and Premiere and Da Vinci.

    My configuration is:
    – Operating System: Windows 10 Home 64-bit
    -CPU: Intel Core i7 4770 @ 3.40GHz Haswell 22nm Technology
    -RAM: Corsair 16,0GB Dual-Channel 2*8BG DDR3-1600 @ 799MHz (10-10-10-27) serie vengeance

    Motherboard: MSI Z87-G43 (MS-7816) (SOCKET 0)Graphics:monitor LG 22EA53 (1920×1080@60Hz)
    monitor LG 22EA53 (1920×1080@60Hz)
    GPU 2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 (Gigabyte) 32 °C
    – Storage:
    238GB Samsung SSD 840 PRO Series (SATA (SSD)) 22 °C
    931GB Western Digital WDC WD1003FBYX-01Y7B1 (SATA ) 24 °C
    931GB Western Digital WDC WD1003FBYX-01Y7B1 (SATA ) 24 °C
    -Optical Drives: HL-DT-ST BD-RE BH16NS40
    – Audio: Realtek High Definition Audio

    If I’d try to increase the RAM until 32GB (but Mobo can go until 64GB DDR3) and change my GPU with one very good that I can use also in a newer configuration later, could be enough? Or I really need another PC? In this case suggestions?

    Thank you all.
    Bye.

    your gpu should be 8gb if using 4k. especially in resolve where the gpu is king. if you did buy a new gpu, it would probably be bottlenecked about 15% by your cpu, but would definitely be an improvement. resolve wouldn’t need more than 16gb ram unless you’re running several effects in Fusion. after effects could cache more sequences, but would always be limited by the older proc. ironically getting a new gpu right now costs more than a new pc, so i’d wait 6 months for gpu prices to come down. the newer gen ryzens are pretty amazing for the price so intel does have a battle for your support.
