What you need to run it

The minimum specification calls for Intel I5-3470 / AMD FX-8350, 8 GB RAM and Nvidia GeForce GTX 750ti / AMD Radeon R9 270x. An 8GB memory requirement is modest by current standards; most machines sold in the last five years clear it. It also needs around 100GB 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.
