The minimum specification calls for Intel® Core™ i3-6100 / Core™ i5-2500K or AMD Ryzen™ 3 1200, 8 GB RAM and NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 960 or AMD Radeon™ RX 470 - DirectX 12.0 compatible system. An 8GB memory requirement is modest by current standards; most machines sold in the last five years clear it. It also needs around 125GB of free storage, which is a real consideration on a 512GB drive. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
