CSGO is pretty well optimized, so you don't need a beast of a PC to run it. However, for a smoother experience, especially if you're getting into competitive play, you'd want at least mid-range specs. That means a decent CPU, a graphics card from the last few years, and around 8GB of RAM. But honestly, you can run it on lower specs just fine; you might have to dial down the settings.

From personal experience, playing CSGO on a high-end PC vs. a lower-end one is night and day. To fully appreciate the game, especially the reaction times in competitive modes, you'll want something that can handle high frame rates and crisp visuals.

Nah, you can practically run CSGO on a toaster. It’s super well-optimized. Just crank down those settings if you’re on an older setup and you’re golden.
