How to render/export fast in Adobe After Effects CC

Hi,

How can I export and render fast in Adobe After Effects, I bought a new PC but it's not quick enough in my opinion.

I want to export a 1920*1080 60FPS project, 10 seconds long. It takes a very long time.

I have already set my GPU as processor but if I start the render and look at my GPU usage, After Effects won't use it.

Screenshots of my project and settings:

CPU - Intel Core i7- 8520K six-core

GPU - Asus GTX 780 OC 6GB STRIX

MOBO - Asus X99-A

RAM - 16GB Crucial

    See this page for resources about making After Effects work faster: http://adobe.ly/eV2zE7

    After Effects uses the GPU for almost nothing. See this page for details of GPU features in After Effects:

    GPU (CUDA, OpenGL) features in After Effects

    10 minutes is not a long time for a 10-second movie with visual effects, compositing, 3D, or many other kinds of computationally intensive processing. Often, people leave 30-second movies overnight or over the weekend to render. This is true for all aoftware that does this kind of work, not just After Effects.

    Hi everyone I have Adobe After Effects cc 2015 I make a video about 5 minutes long or 3 minutes long without effects It takes a very long time, about 6 to 8 hours and sometimes more and the video size it's 55.4 GB

    you should first start by reading this:

    FAQ: Why is my output file huge, and why doesn't it play back smoothly in a media player?

    even if i change the format to QuickTime or H.264 still the same

    Don't do that. use Adobe Media encoder.

    Please specify what the term, "a very long time" means to you.

    Also please tell us what's in your comp: lights, layers, effects used,  comp resolution.

    Unless there's something wrong with your software installation,  Newcomers to AE often think that "too long" is synonemous with "not instantaneous".  Everything could be just fine.

    A ''verry long time'' is 10 minutes for a 10 second video.

    Resolution: 1920x1080 pixels with 60FPS.

    I used effects like Wiggle, Fractal Noise, Tint, Curves, Grain.

    Here is the video:
