What you need to run it

The minimum specification calls for Intel i5-8600 or AMD Ryzen 5 3600, 16 GB RAM and RTX 2060 Super (8GB). A 16GB memory requirement is demanding — worth checking before you buy, because 8GB is still common in older and budget machines. It also needs around 118GB of free storage, which is a real consideration on a 512GB drive. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
