The minimum specification calls for AMD Ryzen 5 2600 / Intel Core i5-8400, 10 GB RAM and NVIDIA RTX 2060. A 10GB memory requirement is demanding — worth checking before you buy, because 8GB is still common in older and budget machines. Install size is roughly 35GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
