I don't think having a top-end system actually increases your chances just because of its quality, but having an unusual setup could. They want to test the game's performance on as many different systems as possible - though, top-end systems are of course less common than budget ones. But, say, a custom-built computer with good but rare components, running on W98 or XP would have a better chance than some Dell setup.
