I'm looking for a new PC and want to get the most out of SH3 - what specs do I need to get the most out of GWX and the other mods?

Ok, first & foremost! DO NOT buy a PC just to play SH3/GWX at full settings. SH3 is nearly 3 years old. Get a PC that can play SH4 at full settings.

Do not lumber yourself with a rig that is outdated/limited before you unpack it from the box.
In answer to your question, this is my current setup and I can play GWX at full settings i.e Max AA & AF and maintain 100+ fps at sea, 30 fps in port & 60+ fps around convoys. As you can see, my rig is quite old (by todays standards).
Pentium 4 3.2 GHz
ASUS P4P 800-E Deluxe Mobo
4 GB Corsair 400MHz DDR 3200 (matched) Dual Channel RAM (don't need this much 2GB will do)
ATI x800 Pro
Windows XP Pro SP2
600w Artic Cooled PSU
