Unless there is something in the CC feature set you must have to do your work, why change? CS6 is still good kit – just suspended in time, so to speak.
Changes is the computing world eventually force upgrades on all of us. But unless my work requires it or the hardware/software demands it, I keep on running it. I do not care if I have the latest thing or not.
Just my humble opinion.

If you two keyframes are one frame apart, you should have in instant effect. It may or may not play back in the timeline in real time, unless you render.

I can only guess, based on the second shot, that the original material is h.264 MP4.
If that is the case, do you also see the artifacts in the original footage before rendering? If so, making an uncompressed version will not make them disappear.
You have custom AVI settings, but we cannot see them. We can see your output is 1920×1080, but that is about it.

I watched the effect at 2:22. You could emulate this pretty well right on the Premiere timeline. It looks like they were simply trying to create an artificial “loss” of vertical sync.
Copy/Paste the shot you want to see the effect onto V2, so you now have a duplicate of the shot, in sync with the shot below it on V1. Everything should look exactly as it did before when you play it.
Now, on the V2 shot, go into Effects, and keyframe the vertical move you want want at the speed you want. You can copy paste those keyframes to a second point on the clip timeline, to repeat the effect. On the second effect, make one extra keyframe just before the effect that “locks” the shot back in normal position.
Now you have your vertical sync “loss”. You can keyframe some other effects of your choice in matching positions on the V1 clip to add to the effect. It may or may not exactly match your example, but the effect is so fast, I bet no one will tell the difference if they compared.

Someone will come up with something better and simpler, because they will have more After Effects experience than I do.
I would make three layers in AE, two layers for the text and one for the G-Sep line. I would position the text where I wanted it to complete movement. I would keyframe that position at the time I would want the move finished.
In the space in between, I would create a square mask on one text layer, and set it to hide the text when the text was under it. I would copy/paste this mask onto the other text layer.
Now I’d set a keyframe for one text layer at the time I want the text hidden, and position the text in that keyframe so it is hidden behind the mask. Copy/paste this keyframe to the other text layer.
The G-sep line gets its own layer and its own mask to hide it. To make it appear to draw, simply slide the mask over out of the way using two keyframes.
You can change the text and use this template over and over to generate other elements for your video if need be.
Someone will likely chime in with something better, but that is how I would get it done at my experience level. So maybe we will both learn something!

Your pic didn’t make it. But if you do go into the Effects window and untwirl Motion, you should see a little “box” on the top line that you can click. It will give you handles in the Program screen so you can manually resize and position. You can still set your keyframes in the usual way.

Here is an alternative method. It allows you to use some masking techniques to de-noise where it is really needed, and takes less time per shot.
The tutorial is about 20 minutes long, but that is because this fellow takes time to unpack and explain the technique. You cannot really see the results looking at the video (too compressed on YouTube), but you will be able to see it on your footage.
You will be able to set up the technique as an AE project, and just use it like a template, loading in different footage.
The workflow here is to de-noise the footage before you edit, and then do your cut with the cleaned-up versions of the shots.

You can edit without using a RAID. You will likely have to compromise on performance during the edit process unless you are only editing standard def material.
As others have mentioned, the form factor doesn’t really play a role. If I was spending my own money, I would just purchase a 1 or 2TB drive, 7200 RPM, with at least 32 cache.
Good luck to you, and I hope you have fun editing!

Tell us about your system. Maybe someone can suggest a settings adjustment based on your hardware.

I think Windows or Mac will be a matter of taste. A greater issue for either will be only 4GB of RAM.
