Those specs! Holy moly. Safe to say my PC doesn't come close to the min specs. 

To put it into perspective... The Ryzen 3 1200 is roughly comparable to the Quad-Core Core i5 2500k from 2011.

The Geforce GTX 770 is roughly comparable to an AMD Radeon 7970 from 2011.

The minimum requirements are just a guideline, you can run on older hardware, even inferior hardware, but they cannot guarantee a set experience.

But holy crap are the AMD vs Intel and AMD vs nVidia hardware not even the same performance levels in their table, I am guessing some marketing individual drew these up... Because a Radeon 570 vs Geforce 770 isn't the same experience, not by a long shot.

XSX is just below the ideal amount of RAM. But yeah the SSD and the optimization for the exact specs will help. 

True, but consoles have lower RAM overhead than PC's, so it should be fine. Ideal VRAM spec is 8GB, while XSX has 16 GB of VRAM, 10 GB for the GPU and 6 GB for the OS and CPU. 32 GB of system RAM on PC is alot more than 6 GB on XSX, but between the lower RAM overhead on console and the fact that a portion of the SSD can be used as extra RAM, it should be fine running the game on the highest settings at 4K after optimization I think. 

Not true.

A Window 7 PC with 8GB of Ram will have more System memory available than the base Xbox One for gaming... The Xbox One reserves more than twice the DRAM for the OS/Background tasks than such a PC. - Plus PC's generally have dedicated memory for the GPU.

The Xbox Series X is leveraging the SSD to reduce the OS memory footprint, but it's still a massive 2.5GB.

The Xbox Series X doesn't reserve "6GB" for the OS/CPU either. It is strictly 13.5GB for games, developers are able to allocate that in whichever way they desire and allocate the slower memory to tasks which are less bandwidth sensitive, that isn't always going to be related to a CPU operation either.

The SSD can be used as "Virtual Memory". - The Original Xbox from 2001, 19 years ago could actually do the EXACT same thing with it's mechanical hard drive, it's not a new technology, it's not even a replacement for Ram, the SSD is still multiples slower than RAM and still multiples higher in latency... If SSD's were such a magic bullet we would ditch Ram entirely and just use SSD's.
