Space Marine PC system reqs announced

Plus, Steam support confirmed.

Developer Relic has gone public with Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine's PC system requirements.

As seen on the game's official site, it's a relatively manageable set of demands, with THQ seemingly favouring Steam over Games For Windows Live.
