Mass Effect 3. The belle of the ball. The big kahoona burger. The granddaddy of them all. The big papa bear. The main event… alright I’ll stop now. Mass Effect 3’s release date is rapidly approaching and Bioware has seen fit to release both the minimum requirements and the recommended requirements for the PC version of the game.
My minimum requirements are ‘Xbox 360’, because I’ll be playing it on console like an idiot, but the PC master race will need this kind of horse power at least…
Minimum Spec:

Please note that NVIDIA GeForce 9300, 8500, 8400, and 8300 are below minimum system requirements, as are AMD/ATI Radeon HD3200, HD3300, and HD4350. Updates to your video and sound card drivers may be required.CPU – 1.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (equivalent AMD CPU)

But if they want to live up to the master race name, they’ll be needing this…
Recommended Spec:
