Your PC Must Be This Burly To Play Watch Dogs

Watch Dogs is finally arriving next month, after what seems like 65 years (give or take) of hype, delays, doubts, and discussion. It will be on last-gen and next-gen consoles, but it will also be on PC. What kind of PC must you have to run it? Well.

Today the game went up for pre-order on Steam, with its minimum and recommended PC specs laid bare for all the world to see. Here goes:

A lot of fairly straightforward stuff in there, though that recommended processor speed sticks out to me. Hope this game runs ok on my more modest rig.
