Sure, that should run fine.

As long as your system is 64bit meeting the minimum requirements you'll get After Effects running.

It'll actually run on lower specs but the larger RAM and faster Processor, the happier it will be.

You may just want to disable or reduce the 'Disk Cache' in the preferances as that will soon fill up and slow down your machine.

 

Best, John w.

Also, here's two tips:

1) If you want to test drive it you get a 7 day free trail on the Adobe site.

2) If you can wait till black friday to purchase the full year, there will almost always be a discount deal on then;)
