Console fans don't have to concern themselves with such things as system requirements for games, but it's bread and butter to the PC crowd.

Which is a very roundabout way of saying BioWare's revealed the minimum and recommended hardware specs for the PC version of Mass Effect, which is out in June.

We won't beat about the bush - here's the deal:
