However, we are all concerned if our computers will burn upon loading "this infinite procedurally generated universe". In all honesty, I didn't have high expectations about the performance. After all, we have seen numerous games that rely heavily on the CPU perform badly, some are 0AD, Rust and even good old Minecraft (Yes, it has the capability of frying an i7). If there really are 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 planet, nobody would expect a solid framerate, but the major problem is that after 3 years of development, the game has been released with lots of bugs and performance issues, Even the latest generation of video cards and CPU's can't handle parts of the game and this has undoubtedly been reflected in the reviews. However, despite of performance issues many people find the game satisfying and enjoyable.
Look at the system requirements. They state that you must have an Intel Core i3, not the fastest CPU out there. The low system requirements caused most of the outrage concerning performance issues. People with Core i3's probably have a better chance playing Battlefield 1 on ultra than No Man's Sky on minimum. While the video card isn't such a big problem for No Man's Sky, still a GTX 480 seems quite low for a game in 2016. Now, It is hard to predict if your build will run the game, so I suggest waiting a bit if you are unsure. Spending 60 euro for a game that you may not be able to run seems like a bad idea, doesn't it.
