I am also LOL about how this thread started as a guess about hardware and ended up in the sim name!!!
My rig is 1 year old, Maximus Hero X with and I7 OC to 4.7mhz 16mg memory and a GTX1080Ti and I feel confident that would be capable to move the sim. I strongly believe (educated non official guess based on reviews) that one of the key issues for a smooth sim experience will be internet connection.
