The newer Ryzen 7000 series is harder to recommend, as they lock you into uncharacteristically expensive mainboards that only run with expensive DDR5 memory. If you're looking to spend a bit more, consider an i5-13500 (a great price for the number of cores), an i5-13600K (better for gaming in particular), or a Ryzen 7 5800X3D (even better for gaming in particular).

When building a new system from scratch, the budget king is likely the i3-12100F on the cheapest compatible mainboard available with 16 GB of DDR4 memory. Used AMD cards are particularly risky, as they were the most favored by miners. Shady people are still trying to offload cards that were beaten half to death in cryptomining centers until last year, and they're going out of their way to lie and hide the damage. You can buy video cards used, but stick to reputable sellers. You shouldn't target that resolution if you're budget conscious. Note: none of the cards I mentioned will do 4K gaming well, KSP2 or otherwise. I'm not sure I can recommend them right now, but if you're a fan, the 7xx series cards do have the VRAM and performance required to run the game.

on team blue, they're really trying with the Arc series, and the hardware is good, but the drivers still have real issues. You generally want to err towards slightly more VRAM on AMD cards, but thankfully, they also tend to make it more affordable. On the side of team red, in the same price and performance brackets, there's the 6600 XT / 6650 XT with 8GB, the 6700 with 10 GB, and the 6700 XT / 6750 XT with 12GB. If you have time to wait, the 4060 series is rumored to be releasing in the summer months, and might have slightly more VRAM (or it might not, Nvidia has been stingy with it lately).

Instead, consider something like a 3060 12GB, or a 3060 Ti 8 GB from team green.

I really don't recommend dropping two grand on a video card and another on a system that can support it just to try and beat a software problem with raw power. This means that until the issue is fixed on the game's end, almost no kind of hardware out there exists that will let you play comfortably in all situations. Unfortunately, by its very nature, KSP2 makes us look at celestial body surfaces constantly - for example, you have pretty much no choice in the matter when putting a rocket onto the launchpad. My ancient CPU is only like two-thirds loaded because the video card is spending so much time swapping data with system memory and disk instead of rendering frames. And I have a feeling the FPS would be higher if the card wasn't constantly out of VRAM. Both are below the official minimum system requirements, and yet I get a comfortable 40-50 FPS in the VAB or in space with the camera pointed away from Kerbin. I have an i5-4670 (a ten year old midrange CPU) and a GTX 1060 6GB (a six year old midrange GPU). Outside of that effect, the system requirements are actually much more benign. (Note: that doesn't mean that a GTX 4090 drops below 60 FPS at any point - it doesn't - but it proves that this is an issue with the game, not with the hardware.) Even the most high-end cards, like a GTX 4090, will drop to a fraction of what they can do when the camera is simply turned the other way. Being in a low orbit and looking down at the surface will absolutely murder your FPS. The main resource hog right now appears to be celestial body surfaces, particularly in daylight.

That includes both system memory, where you ideally want at least 16GB, and video memory, where you'd ideally bring at least 8GB for 1080p and at least 10GB for 1440p.

An easy piece of general advice: KSP2 loves memory.
