There's a choice of two things to do:

1) Wait until the game's actually in the open like Steve said and put a machine together based on the firm, hard, factual specs released by whoever's making it.

2) Have some common sense, look at what the average high-end game requires right now and spec above that.

If you buy a shit hot computer now then chances are it'll be more than enough for DNF if it's really relatively near release. Ya know, a £100+ DX11 card, atleast 4gb of ram and a Core i5 or i7 should boat along nicely on virtually anything.

If you spec for low-end or mid-range then you're obviously running the risk of only being able to run it with the graphical settings turned down to low.
