What you need to run it

The minimum specification calls for CPU with 2+ GHz, 4 cores, 16 GB RAM and GeForce GTX 970 or R9 390X. 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 30GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
