Good Afternoon,
I have a current general purpose workstation (small business) that i occasionally use to edit and export 4K videos. Upon receiving a request to edit and export a 29 minute video in 4K, I noticed that the original render time in Adobe Media Encoder 2019 was close to 6 hours. I did a little bit of digging and bench marking to find some trouble spots in the system. All the firmware except the M.2 drive was updated. Windows was also updated. Reran the encoding/export request in Encoder 2019 and it dropped to about 4 hours or so. Decided to overclock the RAM from 2400 MHz to 2866 MHz and overclock the iGPU Vega 8 chip to "Extreme" via the Bios. This resulted in the render/encoding times dropping to approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes. A far improvement just by updating almost all firmware and software (except the m.2 drive) and a minor overclock.
My question is: If I had to spend the money on ONE component, should I:
Here is my current computer specifications:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 2 2200G - Vega iGPU overclocked to "Extreme" via ASUS Bios
Motherboard: ASUS Prime B450-Plus
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 2400 C16 2x8GB - Overclocked to 2866 MHz
Storage: Silicone Power M.2 1TB NVMe
Power Supply: Seasonic Focus Plus 550W 80+ Gold (or Bronze) Full Modular.
OS: Windows 10 Home Version 10.0.17763 Build 17763
Editing: Adobe Premiere Pro 2019 & Adobe Lightroom 2019 Classic & Adobe Media Encoder 2019
Here is my latest User Benchmark Results:
UserBenchmarks: Game 29%, Desk 93%, Work 54%
CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 2200G - 81.3%
GPU: AMD RX Vega 8 (Ryzen iGPU) - 21.3%
SSD: Spcc M.2 PCIe SSD 1TB - 218.4%
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 2400 C16 2x8GB - 91.2%
MBD: Asus PRIME B450-PLUS

My question is: If I had to spend the money on ONE component, should I:
- Swap out the RAM to a G.Skill RipJaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR 3600?
- Install a video card to enable GPU acceleration? - If so, when what card will allow me to export/encode 4K in under an hour, given my current setup?
- Swap the CPU out for a 3rd Generation Ryzen? If so, what would be the best option?
