Minimum equipment needed for VOIP? (alien.top)

I want to sign up with voip.ms and I'm wondering if there's a way I can just have my computer speakers ring when i get a call, and I answer with a simple headset/mic? Or else, can someone give me an idea what a minimal setup looks like? I'm trying to figure out what I will need to buy.

I use VoIP.ms and I have call forwarding to a Google voice number. I can use the phone apps or Google voice webpage to answer phone

When you set up call forwarding at voip.ms, is the "Description" what shows up on the caller ID, or is there a way to set that so you can tell which VOIP phone number was called?

Yes, you only need a softphone running on your PC.

For example MicroSIP, which is free.
See here: https://wiki.voip.ms/article/Microsip

Under settings, set the Ring Device to your PC speakers.
