The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i5 / AMD equivalent, 8 GB RAM and NVIDIA GTX 750-Ti / AMD RX 550, 2GB VRam. An 8GB memory requirement is modest by current standards; most machines sold in the last five years clear it. Install size is roughly 12GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
