If/when moving your AC install to a new PC, make sure your AC install is on a drive other than the C/system drive. Once you install it in the new PC, Steam should be able to "re-connect" to the install.Sorry, yes i already have a PC, gtx 1060 and i7 4790, does a pretty good job but i keep getting tempted to get a better PC and then i panic about the transferring of all my games and settings not to mention a stupid amount of mods etc for AC.
If a could get a 1070 or 1080 for a fair price i'd do that, but its cheaper to get a whole system with a 1080 in it already.
Another option is use Steam to install AC on the new PC on a new drive, then copy your mods from the old hard drive to the newly-installed AC on the new drive. You could install the old drive in the new PC, or put the drive in an external case.
A third option is to use cloning software to make an exact copy of everything on one drive to another drive.
I recommend getting a 1TB SSD drive if you're not using one already.
Keeping your settings can be tricky. Most of your AC settings are in your user folder on your C-drive. You could back those up to an additional drive and copy them to the user folder on the new PC. You just need to be careful and test as you do it.
