What PC do you need for Baldur's Gate 3?
Baldur’s Gate 3 includes larger and more complex encounters alongside quieter exploration and dialogue. The published requirements help establish the entry point, but loading a save, exploring a settlement and playing a busy combat sequence may not stress identical components in the same way.

Choosing the right components
An SSD is part of the publisher’s guidance, and the installation size is significant. Remember that a PC needs free drive space for the operating system, updates and everything else you play. When choosing a PC for several large games, a 1 TB SSD can be a sensible baseline to compare with a cheaper 500 GB option.
For a complete PC you also need a compatible motherboard, RAM of the right type, SSD, power supply, cooler, case and operating system. Even a sensible component tier is not a verified product-by-product compatibility list; confirm sockets, BIOS, clearances and connectors for exact parts.
Common questions
Is a hard drive recommended?
The published PC requirements specify SSD storage, so plan around an SSD rather than a mechanical hard drive.
Does the cheapest build guarantee a stable FPS?
No. The tool produces guide configurations rather than measured frame rates.
What if I play other games too?
Use the Build Finder to combine up to three games into one indicative PC configuration.
How we calculate the build price
SpecVora applies illustrative UK component reference amounts to model-based GPU and CPU tiers for your chosen resolution, graphics preset and FPS target. The user’s FPS selection is a goal, not a claim that the system has achieved that frame rate. Converted prices are not local retailer offers and do not include exact availability, taxes or shipping.
