(After Effects 2D) Render PC build. Your take on this config?

Hi,

I'm going to build a render PC which will have to command line render After Effect projects (aerender.exe). So text and shape layers with expressions and mask. All background animations with heavy effects will be prerenderd on the workstation pc before send to this new render pc.

The videos will be about 10 to 15 seconds, 1024x1024 pixels. Most for social media uploading.

I've chose for a CPU with a high base freq, because from what I understand thats what AE uses to render. Amount of cores is not that important with 2D.

CPU and SSD (and fast internet) would be crucial to render video, write video, and send the video quickly. For now I have 100mbit up and down, possible to upgrade to 500mbit.

• 1x CPU = Intel Core i7-8086K
• 1x Motherboard = Asus ROG Strix B360-I Gaming
• 2x SSD = Samsung 970 Pro 512GB
• 1x RAM = G.Skill Trident Z RGB F4-3200C16D-16GTZR
• 1x Power supply = be quiet! SFX Power 2 400W

Does anybody see bottlenecks or other suggestions? Thanks!!
