So, I'm thinking of giving the new Assassin's Creed games a try, starting with Origins (of course), and I'm wondering, are the two story DLCs worth the 6 € of difference between the standard edition (11.99 €) and the gold editon (17.99 €)?

I liked both DLCs. However, the first one isn't that great except for minor lore additions, and it has some annoying-to-navigate terrain. It's quite decent but worse than the base game, I think. The second one offers much more content that also has higher quality, but it's also quite disconnected from the base game. If you like the base game, 6 € isn't too bad for the DLCs I'd say, but of course it also depends on whether you care about the percentage increase (50 %) of the absolute amount (6 €). I would personally have been more than happy to pay just 6 € for the DLCs but then again, I've played every major Assassin's Creed game out there so there's that.

Thanks for your comment. The thing is that I either get the gold edition now with the DLCs or I just won't be getting them because they will cost more either alone or with the Season Pass.

And you've played all of them? Wow. I stopped caring about that franchise after AC 3 killed it for me. And while I played Black Flag later, and enjoyed it, the games that followed never picked my attention. But then came the pause (a well deserved and necessary pause) and they came back with what looked like a new formula with Origins and the games that came after. And so here I am, jumping on it again.

F*ck crypto mining, but that guy is full of BS. If you want to play new games, or even games launched in the past couple of years, on PC, you need more than 4GB of VRAM even to play at 1080p.

I didn't have a problem playing Total War: Three Kingdoms on my GTX 770 with 2 GB of VRAM (at 1080p). It's not all that great, but I don't think I even had to play on the lowest settings. I'm sure there are more demanding games as well and you probably can't run all modern games with an outdated GPU, but there are certainly even some recent high-profile games that run just fine on outdated cards.

Ok, maybe more than 4Gb is not mandatory for every recent game, but if you look at the requirements of most games, you'll agree with me that if you're buying a GPU right now, 4GB is not a good investment.
