To cc_merchant:
I think the CPU and the amount of RAM seems fine to me, but I agree with the power supply and the disk system. I was thinking of adding another drive to store only the rendered files.
I was thinking of changing the stock CPU fan to this, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103099
Sound good?
And I will remove the Neat Effects as I believe you are correct.
To Bill Gehrke:
I did not apply the thermal paste, the CPU + CPU fan + thermal paste were pre-made factory sealed.
I will love to do a benchmark test.
I have Adobe P CS 6, and Adobe AE CS 6, both with the most current update available for them.
Does that help?
