My PC is 7 years old, with a 4 year old gaming GPU. It's starting to show its age, to put it lightly. I can play SD1 ok on medium/high settings, hopefully 2 isn't much more demanding.

I'm running it on an old laptop with a 740 on medium/high graphics with some things such as model detail at Lowest. The game is playable just fine if you do not zoom in but at the levels you actually will spend most of the game at it runs fine. I noticed the performance between SD44 and SD2 to be about the same.
your screwed, sorry
I had no problems running SD2 on a Ryzen 5 2500U + RX 560X laptop. That should be less powerful than any desktop built the last 5 years easily.
I'm running a laptop with a GeForce850M. Only noticed a very slight performance drop from SD1, but nothing that would stop me playing.
Beta time doesn't count towards Steam Refund timer so I'd recommend pre-ordering to see how the beta runs on your rig and deciding from there.
I get playable 25 FPS on the 'very low' setting with my Laptops poor onboard GPU. The bad graphics doesn't bother me too much, since one plays zoomed out anyway. Sor far I have only played skirmish 1v1 though.
PC stats: i7-7500U @ 2.70GHz RAM 16 GB Intel HD Graphics 620
I haven't played SD1 but lots of Wargame Red Dragon. The latter ran very well for me on Medium settings and looked better than SD2.
Note, that you can return the game anytime as long as it is not released, so no harm in trying for yourself.
For me is much better than SD1.
