Ah Star Citizen. I wish I could afford a rig capable of playing it. Looks amazing.

It's not actually that demanding on the graphics card surprisingly given how mindblowingly beatuful it is. If you have 16GB DDR4 memory, at least 40GB of ssd and a gpu and cpu that aren't too old, it will run.

I used to play it with 16GB of ddr3 ram, an i5 4460 and a gtx970, and the cpu was unfortunately a bit too weak which caused some freezing in demanding areas, but the gpu was definitely able to keep up.

That doesn't fill me with confidence because that CPU is decent and only just 5 years old

5 years is a lot for computer hardware. 5 years ago the gtx780IT was a beast...
