Emu Requirements

[JoyBear73]

New to emulation, I built a new PC with some spare parts and parts I found for cheap. Right now I have a B550 MOBO with Ryzen 3600 CPU, 32GB DDR4 3600 speed memory, a 1510 Super GPU (Will be upgrading it to a 5600XT from main PC, when prices on GPU's finally come down and I can upgrade main PC), and an 8TB HDD. I've seen that GPU isn't quite as important as CPU is. My question is, up to what console can this PC handle, and is 8TB storage enough, I could get a 2nd HDD if needed (Would I be able to split Launchbox/Games between 2 HDD'S? I saw some where that the later console games are much larger files which is why I'm asking about drive space. I do have Launchbox/BigBox (Haven't installed on new PC yet) and the MAME/Emu gen software too. Thanks for any help and advice.

I have no idea what a 1510 super gpu is (mistyped perhaps?) but with a 5600xt and ryzen 3600 you can emulate all the consoles that are currently emulated. As far as hdd size that all depends on exactly which consoles you choose to emulate and if you want to have every game for each console including japanese and european and other regions.  i have a 4TB hdd which is larger than i need but others have way larger hdds and many more of them.

Start setting it up you can always add more storage later if you need it.

Thanks for reply. Yes GPU was a typo, it's a 1050Ti, not a Super either  lol.
