Mass Effect: Andromeda system requirements confirmed

Now that Mass Effect: Andromeda [official site] has gone gold [for the benefit of younger readers: 'gone gold' is a reference to how developers would celebrate finishing a game by dancing around to Spandau Ballet's Gold -ed.], BioWare have confirmed its final system requirements.
