I have a midtier rig and get 60fps anywhere outside of the major cities. If your computer sucks this isn't the game for you. Try Minecraft.
The game has recieved almost no optimization at this point, because it's still an Alpha, regardless of how silly a game being in Alpha for ten years may sound. With SQ42 now in polishing, the optimisation work there will likely spill over into SC soon enough. There's also the switch to Vulkan round the corner, and the various improvements to the underlying server tech, and so on and so forth.
None of this fucking matters, because the game is an ungodly success beyond anything that anyone could have imagined. If you're someone who is buying in now it's because you're willing to go along for the ride. If you're not buying in now, that's an entirely sensible decision (never pre-order, etc, etc) and maybe some day down the line they'll get the game into a state where you do think it's worth buying. Maybe they won't. Either way you've lost nothing.

As a necessary addendum to the comment above: I bought the game 2014 and back then I was thinking to myself: ok. I've waited enough. It surely is releasing either later this year or even if they delay it. 2015 at the latest.

If you do decide to buy it. Expect year-long delays for anything they say might be coming out.

Oh SQ42 is in polishing? They have claimed it was done back in 2014.
