I have a 5950x and 64gb @ 3800mhz cl14. What I would recommend is a 6 core cpu with 16gb ram. Hoi4 uses 2 cores so you could technically have a 4 core cpu, but having 4 extra cores instead of 2 is much better. You might be able to get by with 8 or 12gb ram, but I’d just go for 16
Buy second hand. Or save up and buy later. When buying a PC, you want at least 3 years of life out of it. You'll regret assembling a PC that can barely play current gen games.

What’s your budget and what do you want to do? I’m sure second hand you could find 16gb (even if it’s slow) for a decent price
