What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i5 3570 or AMD FX-8350, 8 GB RAM and GPU: NVIDIA GTX 760, AMD Radeon 7970 / R9280X GPU RAM: 2 GB Video Memory. An 8GB memory requirement is modest by current standards; most machines sold in the last five years clear it. It also needs around 120GB 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.
