The Sims 3 system requirements?

As a fan of the sims, naturally i want to get the sims 3 game when it comes out in june. There is just one thing holding me back, my system specs. They are:



Intel Pentium D 2.8 GHz processor

250GB SATA

1GB DDR II

Windows Vista (with SP1) 32-bit OS

Nvidia GeForce 7300 SE/7200 GS

Video RAM: 312MB

3D acceleration

Pixel Shader 3.0

Direct X 10



I have trouble running the later sims 2 EPs, but unlike those, the system requirements lab site passes my system on all the min specs for the sims 3, not top marks but over the minimum. Future sims 3 EPs will most likely strain my system as more EPs are released or not even work at all. My PSU has a max wattage of 300W so a new video card means a new PSU and as you can see i need slightly more RAM. Would it be cheaper to just buy a new unit? than spend money on new hardware and paying for them to be installed as i won't touch my computer myself.The Sims 3 system requirements?
