    Just when I thought I was gone, I've been pulled back to this game. Just don't know where to start anymore.

    I have the original's installed (still) but not sure if it's worth getting the EE. Any suggestions?

    I haven't gotten the EEs so far, but if it's worth € 4.29 for you, they're on offer on GoG for that price now.

    Go for it in a sale. For me the EEs (at sale price) are worth it in convenience of not having to fiddle with a bunch of mods, if nothing else, though YMMV.

    For the sake of convenience alone, and especially with the prices being so low at the moment (GOG), I would say go for it. You can omit Siege of Dragonspear as it, IMHO, doesn't really at anything noteworthy to the saga (it also cost about 10€ which is more than you have to pay for both of the enhanced editions combined - though still at 50%).

    What sucks even more is that RAM and graphics cards are pretty damn expensive right now.

    You seem to be having some bad computer luck or something. Hopefully, it works for you this time.
