Nowadays, you can't rest easy just by seeing the minimum and recommended system requirements, as most next-gen titles face performance and optimization issues.
Seeing that Dead Space recommends an RTX 2070 or better, which is a "more than decent" processing power, we would recommend you get the game only if you have a better system that the recommended requirements.
If you're worried about performance issues, it might be best to wait it out. Once Dead Space releases, check whether it is performing well on your GPU, check out some comparison and benchmark videos, and then go for the purchase.
Or, you can get the game via Steam and try it out on day one on your PC. If you don't like the performance, you can always apply for a refund.
