Most, if not all, PC-based VR games abide by closely similar required and recommended specs, though Half-Life: Alyx turns things up a bit. Below are the minimum required specs for Half-Life: Alyx.
 

Half-Life: Alyx Minimum PC Specs

  • Processor (CPU): Intel Core i5-7500 / AMD Ryzen 5 1600
  • Memory: 12 GB RAM
  • Graphics Card: Nvidia GTX 1060 / AMD RX 580 – 6GB VRAM
Those are noticeably higher than the minimum specs to simply run the Valve Index VR headset, which require a dual-core hyper-threading CPU, 8GB of RAM, and an Nvidia GTX 970 or AMD RX 480. However, if you take Index’s recommended specs into consideration, Half-Life: Alyx’s requirements don’t seem as farfetched. Valve Index recommends a quad-core CPU paired with an Nvidia GTX 1070 or better.
 
I don't think the requirements are too bad. 

AMD Ryzen 9 7950X,  Corsair Mp700 Pro M.2, 64GB Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5  X670E Steel Legend, MSI RTX 4090 Associate Code: H5U80QBH6BH0AXF. I am NOT an employee of EVGA

    still some basic hardware ... Recommended spec are usually more informative ... what will provide good game play

    the minimum specs are so high because steam itself running in background takes 1/3 of computing power

    finally a signature without that associate code

    But that really isn't high spec.
