Only 50GB of storage needed? That's.......impressive. Obviously it'll start to balloon as new seasons and content gets added over time, but even Halo 5 at launch required 55GB of storage.
im nowhere near tech heavy, is this a lot of power here?

That's an entry level gaming computer from 2016. About 2TF GPU
wow!
A Radeon RX 570 is 5 Teraflops... Not that it actually means anything.
The Geforce 1050Ti is absolutely not in the same league as a Radeon RX 570 either which is about half as fast, sometimes worst.
Both are 2016 or based on 2016 GPU's. (As the 2017 RX 570 is based on 2016's RX 470)
The CPU is just as odd-ball.
The AMD FX 8350 is hot garbage, the i5 4440 was mid-range Haswell from 2013.
Either way, no real thought or testing likely went into these system requirements, so it's just a guideline... As non of the hardware is even comparable.
Yeah the RX 570 is a mid-range component. The flight had quite poor performance on AMD so perhaps they weren't able to recommend the RX 560. Normally they would list a 900-series card as minimum these DX12 only games (a GTX 960)- but I think I read in the flight notes that those cards also had dodgy performance.
That's my best guess as to the odd GPU requirements.
FX 8370 almost makes sense given the similarities to the Xbox One architecture. Perhaps targeting that platform meant they can work with slow cores in these pre-Ryzen fossils, if there is enough of them.
Halo Infinite runs on a base X1, so the minimal PC specs wont be high either.
