What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for QuadCore AMD Ryzen 3 3300X / Intel Core i5-8400, 8 GB RAM and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 (3 GB). An 8GB memory requirement is modest by current standards; most machines sold in the last five years clear it. Install size is roughly 50GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
