The minimum specification calls for Intel® Core™ i5-6600 | AMD Ryzen™ 3 3100 or Ryzen™ 5 2600, 8 GB RAM and Nvidia GeForce® GTX 1660 or AMD Radeon™ RX 590 or Intel® Arc™ A750. 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.
