Based on the minimum specs here[support.ubisoft.com] you should be fine!

Before my recent upgrade i was using a first gen i7 and that worked out fine, I assume a second gen i5 will work out.

Originally posted by Nomad: Up until late season year 2, i had a first gen i7 with a 660gtx. I had 144 frames until they upgraded the servers, then frames dropped to 60 with frequent drops into teens. I was forced to upgrade and now have a 6th gen i7 with 10 series gtx video card. It's advisable to upgrade just so you're future proof in the game. You can find decent hardware and easy instructions to self build a PC or can look around for a prebuilt system.

Those were the exact specs i just upgraded from actually - those 660's keep pushing man.

It is true that having the latest hardware is definitely going to improve the performance though.
