Quick answer
Mission essentials
- Windows 10 64-bit is the minimum OS tier
- 16 GB memory is the published baseline
- DirectX 12 hardware is required
- Check the live Steam listing before buying parts
Requirements are targets, not guarantees
Large 50v50 matches can stress both CPU and GPU. Compare your complete system with the current official table and leave room for background services, drivers and thermal limits.
Upgrade in the right order
Confirm the real bottleneck with monitoring before buying hardware. Storage space, current graphics drivers and a clean shader cache are cheaper checks than replacing a component.
