The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i7-4790K or AMD Ryzen 5 2600X, 16 GB RAM and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 (6GB), or AMD Radeon RX 580 (8 GB). A 16GB memory requirement is demanding — worth checking before you buy, because 8GB is still common in older and budget machines. Install size is roughly 10GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
