High specification to run SSE really well

Hello

I have used ShipSim for a number of years now, mostly with great pleasure, but my PCs have never been much more than just adequate for the tasks, on the lowest settings.   I am now in the market for a PC that will run SSE very well indeed, and I look forward to running the whole of SSE again on this.   What is a sensible specification for this?   What do I need, without going into the more extreme realms of really high end gaming?   Also, what if anything, is planned for the future?   Will I find that I am again inadequately equipped to run future versions of ShipSim or whatever?
