It's not up there yet but http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/ is a good site to check if your PC can run a game. It isn't right all the time though. It said I wasn't able to play Batman Arkham City but I was able to play it on max settings. It also said I met the minimum requirements for Alan Wake but it was almost unplayable when I tried.

So you're basically saying it's a load of crap not to be bothered with?

No. The majority of the time it does work but it can sometimes be wrong.

Is it like the sims but a city?

Game is still some time away from release, take them specs with a pinch of salt. And going from my experience with PC game specs you dont want to be at the min, aim for the recommend.

It's odd that the graphics cards mentioned are 6-7 years old, It can't be particularly graphically demanding. Still, at least that means I should be able to run it on my laptop if it hasn't died by then.

Am really looking forward to this game.

For now I have CitiesXL 2012 to fulfil my city building needs, although despite being a newish game (2012 in the name) it only actually works with one core and ignores all the other processor cores.

Stupid thing!  I have quad core processor so bloody use all four of them please!

Not only that there is a memory leak in the game which has yet to be fixed.  This can be temporarily fixed by going out into the menu and back into the game again.

Regardless CitiesXL 2012 is still fun but I'd imagine a brand new Sim City would be amazing!

City building simulation... Much like Sims is building a family and a house
