Minimum and recommeded specs for Dying Light

If you're planning to play Dying Light when it releases to the public next month, hopefully you were able to take advantage of the various Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals and upgrade your PC. Publisher Warner Bros. Entertainment posted the minimum and recommended specs of Dying Light on Steam -- they're fairly heavy, especially the recommended portion, which calls for an Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 or AMD Radeon R9 290 graphics card.
Let's start with the minimum specs, which are a bit more manageable (though still calls for something much newer than that Barton system you pridefully built several years ago):

• OS: Windows 7 64-bit / Windows 8 64-bit / Windows 8.1 64-bit
• Processor: Intel Core i5 2500 @ 3.3GHz / AMD FX-8320 @ 3.5GHz
• Memory: 4GB RAM DDR3
• Hard Drive: 40GB free space
• Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 / AMD Radeon HD 6870
• DirectX: Version 11
• Sound: DirectX compatible

And here's a look at the much burlier recommended specs:

• OS: Windows 7 64-bit / Windows 8 64-bit / Windows 8.1 64-bit
• Processor: Intel Core i5 4670K @ 3.4GHz / AMD FX-8350 @ 4.0GHz
• Memory: 8GB RAM DDR3
• Hard Drive: 40GB free space
• Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 / AMD Radeon R9 290
• DirectX: Version 11
• Sound: DirectX compatible

In addition, WB posted a somewhat disheartening warning for mobile gamers saying that laptop versions of graphics cards may work but are not officially supported.
Dying Light is a first-person action survival game set in a vast open world. It's set to release on January 27, 2015, though you can place your pre-order now on Steam for $60.
