Is This PC Powerful Enough For BigBox?

[ObsidianArcade]

Hello friends,

I've decided to take the plunge into the world of Launchbox with an eye for using Bigbox.

I intend to emulate Arcades, Retrocomputers, and a variety of 8-bit & 16-bit consoles.

My current ecosystem is entirely Mac based and I'm looking at picking up a used gaming PC to dip my toe into this world.

Would the following system be sufficient for achieving the above goals?

CPU- ryzen 5 1600

GPU- GTX 1080

RAM- (2x8) 16gb

Storage- 1tb SSD

PSU- EVGA 650W 80+ Bronze

Has (Windows 10 pro) fully activated

Thanks for your consideration and forgive my ignorance. I didn't find using the forum search very useful.

Yes, more than enough for what your stated goals are, though I would suggest more hard drive space if you plan on going in to the 32 bit and up CD/DVD based systems.

Thanks so much for your reply, @Lordmonkus - I'll look into grabbing this system!
