thanks for any input !

Background : 

My laptop Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz 2.80 GHz 

16.0 GB

seems to not be able to handle much of the After Effects and is a little cranky with Illustrator.

 

Plan : 

So wanting a PC 

So im now wondering 

AMD Ryzen 9 7900X CPU 12 Core / 24 Thread - 76MB Cache 

VS 

Intel Core i9 12900K CPU 16 Core / 24 Thread - Max Turbo 5.2GHz - 30MB Cache

 

32-64 ddr5 RAM 

probably 

 

not wanting a GPU as i understand that its not a must at the moment mostly working with videos 1920X1080 not 4k as mostly for Facebook and such .

 

What say you 😛 

thanks for any input !

    I have zero problems and the video I edit works perfectly... 1280x720 30fps video from a Canon SX510

     

    IF I wanted to edit 4k video I would have bought nvidia RTX2060 with 6Gig to be sure of smooth timeline playback
