GPU: Radeon VII / Nvidia RTX 2080

RAM: 32GB
HDD: 150GB (SSD recommended)

I intend to HDMI the pc to the TV so no monitor required.

I am not particularly knowledgeable about these things but this appears to bring me in under budget. Please could someone let me know if this spec works and will run the sim at the recommended spec level? I opted for no wireless network as the pc will be located next to the router, so ethernet would be fine?
Thank you.
