what hardware requirements needed to unity good run?
Processor, ram, HDD, graphics with good value for money in tower Workstation?

It is very project dependent. Also, just because a computer can minimally run Unity doesn’t mean it would be recommended to do so. Meeting the minimum specs will let you open the editor and play around in it, but the bare minimum would be unusable for most realistic projects beyond running some basic tutorials.

In general Unity likes:

  • Lots of CPU cores, especially for light baking
  • More cores is probably preferable to fewer but faster cores, which is generally the opposite of what a gaming computer wants
  • A good amount of RAM
  • I would go with 8 GB minimum for anything but the most simplistic of projects, preferably 16
  • SSD storage for your project
  • Again with the light baking SSD can be night and day, and it also helps a lot when opening your project, reloading assets, compiling, and creating builds
  • A modern video card
  • The video card should be fairly recent, but doesn’t need to be a high end version unless your game will take advantage of higher end cards. Onboard graphics from a recent motherboard/CPU will work fine for less demanding games (such as Intel HD whatever recent version integrated graphics)

thanks a lot

could you say me any especific brand model like reference of CPU cores, especially for light baking?
I think that radeon RX580 8gb is a good grapichs

Their recommendation is pretty much spot on for my computer (AMD Ryzen 5 1600X, 16GB DDR4-2666, GTX 1080, 1TB SSD). That being said it’s very much a top end system and you don’t necessarily need top end for 3D. It’s definitely a safe choice though if you don’t know how complex you want to go with game development.

By the way I recommend AMD CPUs. Higher core counts are more important for development than higher core speed and the difference between them in individual core performance is only about 10% but the AMD CPUs have more cores for the same price as Intel. Two extra cores will make a bigger impact than 10% more core performance.
