To put this into context for you, your CPU and GPU are slightly (very slightly) faster than his, so you shouldn't have any problems running RDR2.

The recommended specs of the game are lower than your wifes PC

Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-4770K / AMD Ryzen 5 1500X
Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB / AMD Radeon RX 480 4GB

The game only needs a 4 core CPU, yours is 6 cores.
The pc also as 20gb more ram than game needs as well.

Should easily run it.

I have a 3600xt... sitting in my drawer. Used to be in this PC.

The best way to make sure you can run a game on your pc is to do this .....

example ,,,, you want to use Red Dead Redemption 2 so type into your browser ... can i run red dead redemption 2 and it will take you to a site that will tell you if you can run it.

Requirements Test

Check the system requirements. Can I Run it? Test your specs and rate your gaming PC.

www.systemrequirementslab.com

The blue box will download a small file to scan your pc but i would not advise running it because your av might throw up a warning to say it contains suspect items.

Below that are 2 other items to look at and they show minimum and recommended requirements
