Hey!

So PoE2 is coming out and it's making me realize my current rig is kinda right where "recommended specs" are. I'm using an i9-9900K with 124 GB RAM and a 2070 Super. I looked into upgrading just the video card, but if I want a modern one (4080++), I'd need a new motherboard, which means new RAM because the old one won't fit and it also means a new power supply. At that point I don't know if my current setup would have enough room or fans.

It's pissing me off a bit because I work on this computer and I'm REALLY FUCKING NOT looking to upgrade to windows 11. I also hate having to setup a new computer, re-install everything, etc. If there is some way to salvage my windows 10 and the current setup on my SSD with no reinstall, it would be ideal!

I've got 5-6k$ (CAD) available to throw at a new rig.

Ultimately I want this new computer to last me a very long time. I want high gaming performance WITHOUT overclocking, low chances of something breaking and as much RAM as I can put in.

If you guys could help me decide on the pieces, I'd appreciate it.

EDIT: I should add that I'm also open to the possibility of doing minimal upgrades to my current rig that would improve the overall performance without requiring a reinstall of windows/softwares. Maybe going for a video card in the 3000 range (assuming my current power supply can handle that)

You can just slap your old SSD into your new motherboard if you replace it and you won’t lose any data. If your ssd is pretty old I would recommend buying a new SSD and cloning your old one to it. If you buy a Samsung drive you could do it for free with Samsung Magician and it’s pretty straightforward
