OUR MINIMUM SPEC RECOMMENDATIONS FOR NEW COMPUTERS
Here are the minimum specifications that we recommend. If you can afford a more advanced computer, by all means go above and beyond these, but we are confident that in meeting these minimum recommendations you will be pleased with your purchase.
Again, no matter which build level you require based on your use case, we don’t recommend ever going below 8GB RAM and always selecting a PC that has a Solid State Drive (SSD) as the bootable storage.
Entry
- RAM - 8GB
- CPU - Intel Core i3 or AMD Ryzen 3 (make sure it’s a recent Generation as well)
- Storage - 250-500 GB SSD
Intermediate
- RAM - 8-16 GB
- CPU - Intel Core i5 or AMD Ryzen 5 (make sure it’s a recent Generation as well)
- Storage - 500GB-1TB SSD (NVME if possible)
- GPU (if needed) - GTX 1660 Super, RTX 2060, RX 5600 XT, RX 5700 XT (there’s lots of options and these change frequently in terms of their performance to value, so it would be best to search online for the latest rankings on mid tier GPUs)
Advanced
- RAM - 16-32 GB
- CPU - Intel Core i7-i9 or AMD Ryzen 7-9 (make sure it’s a recent Generation as well)
- Storage - 1TB+ SSD (NVME if possible)
- GPU (if needed) - RTX 2080 Ti, RTX 2080 Super, RTX 2070 Super (there’s lots of options and these change frequently in terms of their performance to value, so it would be best to search online for the latest rankings on top tier GPUs)
