Mass Effect Andromeda is due out next month, and with the game having gone gold, EA & Bioware have finally posted the official PC specifications recommended and required to run the game.  Posted over on the Origin storefront, PC players are a going to need at least at GTX 660 & i5 processor (or equivalent) and are recommended to have a GTX 1060 & i7 (or equivalent).

Mass Effect Andromeda looks like it’ll be coming in at 55GB as that’s the required hard drive space needed to install the game.  This sounds about par for the course with this generation of games, though Bioware did recently note that a single planet in Andromeda is the size of Dragon Age: Inquisition.  From what we’ve seen so far, the spec requirements seem warranted.  All of the video we’ve seen thus far make Andromeda look like a graphically intensive game.

Obviously for the ultimate experience, high-end PC owners will be able to push the boundaries much higher, but Bioware hasn’t said just how high the visual fidelity bar will be.
