My old PC has an i5-4590 and 32G of DDR3-1600 memory, but I a 1080Ti. I still play a lot of older games, but it really struggles on newer games like Jedi Survivor and Space Marine 2. I do have some other reasonable equipment like an SSD and NVMe, so it isn't completely outdated. I just feel like upgrading from DDR3 would be the greatest source of improvement.

Would it be worthwhile to get a prebuilt [like this HZG](https://www.newegg.com/p/3D5-006P-00018?item=9SIBWYXKE12297&source=region&utm_source=google&utm_medium=paid+shopping&utm_campaign=knc-googlemkp-pc-_-pla-hzg+official+store-_-gaming+desktop+pcs-_-9SIBWYXKE12297&id0=Google&id1=22837010358&id2=183198831737&id3=&id4=&id5=pla-24280156

I've always found percentage based warmups to be an annoying hassle. I prefer what's sometimes called plates and quarters, basically just alternating adding 25# and 45# plates, and sometimes a 10# to get closer to working weight. For metric, just alternate 10kg and 20kg plates.

10 reps with empty bar, then 5, 3, 1 reps. The last warmup should be ~10% below the first work set. No rest except before the main lift, just change the plates and go.
