Help, and/or info on sys req's for PoE 1 & 2

This is my current rigs stats, as far as I know having more RAM would be a good thing, and yes obviously a 20 series or higher GPU, just can't afford much since Christmas left me with only lint in my wallet. haha!

Another thing I'm unsure of doing is turning on the automatic tuning through the NVIDIA app which automatically overclocks, and manages the settings.

I'm not all that tech savey , but I still know enough, but any help,and/or info is always appreciated!

From the steam pages for both games:

My specs

Win 10 Home / I5-9400 / 16GB ram/ Radeon rx 550 4GB.

Can run both games no problem with preset config.

yea I can run PoE 1 NP on high settings No problem, but PoE 2 I've got some real sh*tty load times, and I've tried multiple different setting layouts, but I can't seem to get a much faster load time than what its already got..
load times suck with my nvme :shrug:
