Ghost Games and EA Games just posted the PC system requirements (minimum and recommended) for Need for Speed, including racing wheel support and specs for 1080p60 gaming. The newest entry in the Need for Speed franchise reminds us of ages-distant NFS Underground series, primarily focusing on night-time street racing and car modification.
The NFS post indicates that Ghost Games, the developers, have learned PC gamers demand more – mostly more frames, as they've unlocked the framerate for March 15th's Need for Speed.
Here's a list of requirements:

OS: 64-bit Windows 7 or later
Processor: Intel Core i3-4130 or equivalent with 4 hardware threads
