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

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