Webster, an i5 2.81 quad core is what I have for a CPU and SH5 runs fine. An i7 quad core would even be better.
If you can and can afford it, build your own computer. That's how I do mine.... build it yourself so you can upgrade. Store bought PCs are proprietary with crap installed that you don't need.

My computer specs:

Windows XP Home [for now]
Intel i5 quad core 2.81 CPU
Asus P7P55D-E LX motherboard - will also take an i7 CPU - my next upgrade, an unlocked i7.
4GB DDR3 RAM
Zotac GF 8800GT 1GB
Ultra 600w ATX modular power supply
Seagate 1TB SATA HDD
Seagate 500MB SATA HDD for storage and runs a few games.
Corsair H-50 water cooling
CoolMaster HAF 922 full tower case. This is a great case for cooling.
Not bad for about $700.00

I ran the UBI precheck to see if this computer could run it, and it passed with flying colors.
