[SOLVED] parts list/cheapest price for rig that can play Baldur's Gate 3 at recommended specs

[rogbngp]

These are the recommended specs to play BG3:

• OS: Windows 10 64-bit
• Processor: Intel i7 4770k / AMD Ryzen 5 1500X
• Memory: 16 GB RAM
• Graphics: Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB / AMD RX580
• DirectX: Version 11
• Storage: 150 GB available space

Can y'all recommend a parts list for a rig that'll be able to run this game (Baldur's Gate 3)? I'm not looking to spend a lot of dough. It's just got to be able to run the game with zero performance problems and look and sound nice. I'm using a TCL 43" 4K TV as monitor. BG3 is likely the only game I'd have any time to play for the next several years.

What is your max budget?

In a quick thought I think you could put something together in the $4-500 range sans os.

Have an old pc from which case could be used? That is currently too tight of a budget.

I played BG3 on a 1050 ti @ 3440x1440. It looked pretty. The framerate was low but that didn't really detract from the gaming experience given the turn based nature of the game.

This would be great for BG3 but way over budget:
