after effects on i3 3220

[Kicstar V]

Hi guys , i am new here , if i make any mistake in posting then i am sorry, but i have a core i3 3220 processor and i wanted to know if it can handle after effects for 1080p or 720p video editing with 8gb ram ?
Thanks for your time .
P.S does graphic card also enhance the editing experience?

It can handle it, just very horribly. After Effects is CPU and RAM intensive, And 8gb of ram. It will use every single bit of that. After Effects uses 100% of my i7-4790K and all 24GB of my RAM. And I believe that After Effects will use you GPU as well

All i wanna do is some light video editing for youtube videos and nothing extra , do you think that it can handle that?
