Should I be able to play Mario Galaxy at 1080 with no lag with these specs?

There are quite a number of games coming out that have over the top CPU and RAM recommendations. Whether it's because the developers haven't done the necessary testing to find the actual lower bound for the settings and framerate they recommend, or because they've been bribed by Microsoft or Sony to make console-equivalent PCs look artificially expensive is another debate, but if things like Battlefront aren't saturating their rated minimum requirement even when their recommended one is available it's better to look at benchmarks.
