After Effects taking 10 hours to render 2 minute video (i7 processor)!

[Ryan Peters1993]

My current setup is

i7 4770k 3.5GHz
Samsung SSD 840 EVO 120GB (Which I am rendering to)
8GB DDR3 Ram

I'm trying to render a 2 minute video with these settings
1920 x 1080, .mp4
The After Effects preset is "YouTube HD 1080p 29.97 fps

The footage used and the project files are on my HDD, but I am rendering the video (Using Adobe Media Encoder to my SSD and it's taking over 5 hours. There has to be something wrong here, right?

Thanks

Yes, something is wrong. It should not take 5 hours to render a 2 minute video. Did you apply a lot of effects in After Effects? Do you have a second internal drive or an external drive you could render the files to? If yes, try rendering the files to the second drive.
