You can use a card as small as 8GB for minimalist installs, but if you are interested in both arcade and console games, I would recommend a 64GB or larger card.

The Raspberry Pi 4 is available now, but the community has not yet optimized the RetroPie software to run on it, so I would avoid it for now. For those more modern games you need the power of a PC.

You can also buy a kit with a case and power adapter included. They are made by many vendors so shop around for the best price because they can fluctuate.
