I guess you're kidding. But if not its not enough even for 1080p at minimals.

I have ryzen 3700x + 6550 xt and its struggle running game at 60 fps at both 1080p and 1440p.
Even with upscaler at "quality".

how about this

Intel i5 10400f
Mb h410m
Ram 16GB DDR4
Vga RX 5700XT 8GB DDR6X
Ssd Nvme 512 GB
Psu 600w 80+

?
If i was building PC for PoE2 I'd consider take at least CPU 5700x3d(i heard good things about 3d cache for poe) and GPU 5060 or similar. Depends on resoluton you're planning to play and your funds.
Try looking for minimal PC specs people build for the poe2. Do not look at minimal/recommended specs listed in steam, they are weird.

I don't know what ur budget is, but that is all 5+ years old hardware.

Maybe tell us what u want to achieve and what ur boundaries in terms of money are. Do u want to play with minimal details and max upscaling on 1080p?

PoE needs a strong CPU more than a GPU.

Please, when you choose hardware to play a game, never go for the "minimum requirements" to build your pc

Always go above the minimum requirements because it will be a dreadful experience.

you're welcome.
I can add that you probably can take cheaper GPU, 5060 should give you comfortable 60 fps in 1440p even with high settings. But i'd not recommend taking cheaper CPU, especially considering 5700x3d is not that expensive comparing to GPUs.

Is this enough? What do you think? I'm looking for a middle-spec because of my budget.
