The minimum specification calls for Intel 7th Gen: Intel Core i7-7700 or AMD Ryzen 5 1600, 12 GB RAM and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 (6GB) or AMD Radeon RX-5600 XT (6GB). A 12GB memory requirement is demanding — worth checking before you buy, because 8GB is still common in older and budget machines. Install size is roughly 25GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
