What you need to run it

The minimum specification calls for AMD Zen 2 or Intel 4th Gen I7 CPU @3.5Ghz with 4 cores / 8 threads or better (examples: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X or better, or i7 4770K 4-core or better), 16 GB RAM and NVIDIA or AMD GPU with 6GB dedicated VRAM or better (examples: NVIDIA GTX 1060 6GB or better, AMD RX 6600 or better). 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 60GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
