Ubisoft has announced the PC specifications required for running Assassin's Creed 3. It's not set to hit PC until November, meaning you have plenty of time to upgrade your rig if it doesn't at least meet or exceed the minimum requirements.
The most notable specification is that Assassin's Creed 3 will not run on the old, but reliable Windows XP. Instead, you must have Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8. Below are the full specifications:
