Not to pick on you Wulfmann, but did you see Assassins Creed? The minimums didn't run the game at all and even the recommended specs had a hard time... so please don't even suggest that Ubisoft is "consumer minded".

Ubi is in this to make money and that means it has to look really good but be able to run on a mid level PC
When was the last time you saw a major title from a major developer being released for a sub-par platform? Come on... The state of the economy and what people can afford has nothing ot do with it. Look at Farcry 2, Fallout 3, GTA4, etc... they were NOT dev'd for "mid-level" systems. Matter of fact, some of these games are why I decided on starting a new build.

If I were to make a copuple of educated guesses:
I'd say minimum Quad-Core CPU (it was the recommended for Assassins Creed)...
Minimum of 4.0GB of RAM (WIN7 is lighter - assuming SH5 is WIN7 ok - but Assassins Creed recommended 3.0GB and ran like crap)...
And a video card with atleast 256MB (but I'd recommend atleast a 512 or better... of a decent GPU... no bargain-bin OpenGL crap)

I know the feeling. My machine was stretched thin for SH4 and it can go no further.

I looked at my old P2 custom system that I paid almost 3K for when it first came out. That was about 10 years ago... Prices sure have come down.
I would hate to add up the money on computers and upgrades since I bought my first Tandy....

that and cellphones...gawd, those were expensive in the beginning.

My projected configuration to run the game very well (with all graphic options enabled, in 1280*1024) is:
dual core at 3 GHz (quad core is appreciated but not mandatory)
2 gb of ram
nVidia 8800 GT 512mb (ATi 4850 512mb)

512mb on the video card is a minimum to play the game with every option checked. We're trying to make the game to fit into 256 mb of video memory (with the lowest settings).

Assassin's Creed was created by a completely different studio with a completely different engine. Those requirements are caused by the fact that their main target is the Xbox 360.

Silent Hunter has nothing to do with the Xbox 360.

The game will run on Windows 7, even the 64bit edition.
