    I don't think the requirements are any different then the ones for Windows 7 but EA specs are quite low, especially if you have lots of EPs too.

    ----------------

    I would look around for something like this:

    - i5 or i7 processor with at least 3.0 ghz (the more the better)

    - 6-12 GB RAM, depending on what else you want to do on that computer. The game can't use more than 4 GB but if you have processes running in the background, you need more then 4 GB

    - a GOOD graphic card. Get something that's green across the board here: http://simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:TS3_System_Requirements 

    - an SSD if you have the money for that.

    There are newer ones that are not listed there yet.
