For CS:GO, you don't need a beast of a machine. Minimum requirements are pretty forgiving: a dual-core processor from Intel or AMD at about 2 GHz, at least 4 GB of RAM, and a graphics card that can handle DirectX 9 – like the Nvidia GeForce 8000 or AMD Radeon HD 2000. Of course, if you're gunning for higher graphics and smoother gameplay, beefier specs will help. Aim for a quad-core processor, 8 GB of RAM or more, and a more recent graphics card like the GTX 1050 or equivalent.

I've been playing CS:GO on my old laptop with just an Intel i3 processor, 4GB RAM, and integrated graphics. Sure, it's not the prettiest setup, but it runs smoothly enough for casual play. If you wanna go pro, though, definitely invest in better specs!
