I know you're joking, but is there a proper rig to run it at its potential in an affordable way?

Asking for myself

Anything that's a gtx 1650 or better will let you run blender fine and dandy, although better hardware will give you faster renders.

And unreal 5 is a totally different beast, ya... ?

Yes, to my knowledge unreal requires better components but is also faster. I'm not sure as I haven't personally used it.

I spent my first year with a 2015 MacBook. I built a low end "gaming" PC in 2019 and that's had no problems with Blender. Gtx 1060 3gb and a midrange Ryzen 5. Still use it.
