How much do I have to pay upfront for closing costs as a buyer?

I plan on house hacking and doing a 5% conventional financing loan. I was wondering what type of upfront closing costs I have to pay. Let's use the example of a 200k property.

How much would I realistically have to pay upfront in closing costs?
