What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i5-4460 or AMD Ryzen 5 1400 290X, 8 GB RAM and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650, or AMD Radeon R9 290X. An 8GB memory requirement is modest by current standards; most machines sold in the last five years clear it. It also needs around 115GB 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.
