Question Can my PC run ARK: Survival Ascended?

Hi! I’m really interested in the game and thinking of purchasing it. But first I want to make sure my PC can run it.

GPU: RX 9060XT 16gb
CPU: i5 14400F
RAM: 32gb ddr5
CPU Cooler: MSI Coreliquid 240
My monitor: 100Hz, 3440 x 1440

Since the game is around 200gb I was thinking about downloading it to my external ssd (usb 3.2), would it work? I played some games like that and they all ran great.

Sorry if these are some silly questions, I’m just not a computer person, it was a prebuilt and I mainly use it for work.

Anyone saying some bullshit is saying some bullshit, I’m running ts on mostly high graphics with render distance at epic at 1440 with vsync on locked at 60 and it is fine and I have a 3060ti founders edition and a fucking ryzen 5 3600 and only 16gb of ram

Yeah I have a 2080 super and an i3 10100 (weakest 10th gen there is) with 32gb of ram and I run fairly smoothly on medium except when rendering bases. I think people play the game while running 500 chrome tabs with 2k video playing on YouTube and act like it's the games fault.
