Rather than give you specific recommendations, here’s some guidance for parts Mobo: The more slots you have for RAM and storage, the better. CPU: literally anything. More cores and faster cores are ideal, but CPU requirements for these things are generally lower than a desktop. RAM: Buy 1 stick of the fastest stuff your motherboard can handle. When you’re ready or you start to see slowdown, buy another of the same stick. You can get far on 16-32GB, you won’t need much more until later. Storage: an SSD for the OS and one or more HDDs for storage. PSU: generally anything in the 500-700 range will be good. You’ll want more if you plan to put a GPU in, though.
