    Pretty much
    - any recent cpu
    - 8gb of ram or more (32gb)- never hurts for CAD work
    - NVMe SSD drive (once you have one you wont go back)
    - GPU (nothing fancy, Radeon 560 for example will do) for CAD

    G-code is just a big text file and doesn't take much. Anything you use for CAD will easily run OB controllers.

    Here is my setup:
