What’s the point? Game technology is limited to xBox/PS3 capabilities. My 3 yo run of the mill desktop plays the latest games well with all options maxed.
Does it play Crysis?

Flight simming is very difficult with the lastest software, addons (airplanes are getting incredibly good from 3rd party vendors), weather, etc. This is why I read these articles to see what would be a step up from what I now own.
I keep a simple installation, and get good smooth flight with my quad-core AMD running stock at 2.5ghz. But there's no "all options maxed" on nearly any machine normally available. Even the high end machines struggle with "max".
