Almost any relatively modern system will be able to run the software you mention. The issue comes when you consider what problems you are going to solve and how many mesh elements you have. I have run CFX with up to 2 million elements on a relatively inexpensive quad core machine with 16 GB RAM with pretty good results. Hopefully that gives you an idea. I'd say if you regularly plan to run cases with many millions of elements you should invest in something a bit more substantial than a regular desktop or laptop. The hardware forum may be useful to you.
