What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel® Core™i7-7700 or higher, 8 GB RAM and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 or higher, AMD Radeon RX 480 or higher. An 8GB memory requirement is modest by current standards; most machines sold in the last five years clear it. It also needs around 140GB 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.
