    Hey @NewBag777,

    i suggest a Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti 4GB 128bit DDR5, so you also have the abbility to play future games and it pretty cheap at the moment. I found a few new in ebay for under 90 €uro!

    It depends. Which resolution do you want to play in, which details, what framerate are you targeting, do you want to play Squadrons in VR (and if so, which VR Headset/Resolution do you wish to use)? What is your budget (although it will be hard to go by that with the current crazy GPU prices)? What's your power supply rated for?
