What to consider for low-end PCs

Installing the game on SSD will improve the game performance 

Path of Exile can run on very low-end systems, including some integrated graphics, but performs differently.

Minimum playable setup is an old dual-core CPU, 8 GB RAM, and Intel HD 4000–class iGPU.
With such hardware, expect ~10–25 FPS and frequent drops in combat or crowded areas.
Modern Intel GPUs like Intel UHD 620 or Iris Xe can reach ~30–60 FPS in early game content.
Endgame maps and heavy skill effects will still cause stutter and drop in FPS even on better integrated graphics.
SSD storage is almost essential to reduce loading times and reduce hitching.
Overall, it is playable on integrated graphics, but smooth  gameplay requires a dedicated GPU.
