Hi,

For reference the minimum system requirements for TS4 can be found here:

http://help.ea.com/en/article/the-sims-4-system-requirements

That hardware setup should easily handle the TS4 game using maximum graphics settings.

keep in mind they are the minimal specs.. when it comes time for adding expansions you may have some problems.
The graphics card is not the strongest.

true but I am able to play the sims 3 on high settings with no problems at all. and the demo plays as well on high settings.

10gb of memory?

As in, hard drive space?

Sims 4 will be slightly bigger than that i think.

The demo is not guide for how the actual game will play.
The sims 4 minimum requirements will be grossly under stated I think.. just like in the sims 3.
And as we all know the more expansions you add the more pressure it puts on your system.. thus you might run into some lag when you add expansions and CC with that graphics card.

You well exceed the requirements to run the game. You should be able to play it on Ultra (my 5 year old rig can even play this game on Ultra).

game has not been released yet.. don't count your chickens before they hatch.

EA said themselves this game will run well on older machines (hence the addition of loading screens). And if the Sims 4 requires an FX-6200 processor to run we're all doomed...

Yes EA also well under estimated the requirements for the sims 3.
the fx- 6200 while a good cpu is far from the top of the cpu chart.
And the graphics card is what counts the most.
I seriously doubt a low end 5 year old pc will be able to play the sims 4 and coming expansions really well with no lag.
And remember EA has only released the MINIMAL requirements. The recommended requirements are what people should be going by for good performance.

According to this (which I trust more than EA.) the radeon hd 7570 is a MAYBE.
