I have been considering getting a great computer for ages. Then I run into the question you asked, prior to buying, thus I havn't. The most demanding thing I do is watch 1080p anime (which I kinda could do on my old rig, if it didn't have too flashy subs or high bitrate) and play games on high (I am happy with low in most cases). I feel that computing power has reached a place where uses for it is so rare it isn't worth upgrading. :/ Basically like 1 game a year tries for high end graphics now a days.

No, all games are trying high end, failing at plot and gameplay, horribly, very horribly.
I have a 2,6 GHz dual core playing 1080p without problems, without Core AVC.
I am planning on upgrading the CPU/RAM/GPU, but none of the games are so interesting i would say "hell I want to look at this game in ultra high setup because it is so awesome" (And the only game that is awesome for visual and story and gameplay is Alice: Madness Returns, but it has some Engine quirks that are annoying some people, but the overall is grand, GFX+SFX+Gameplay+Story are so great you don't think about those quirks much and you can play on very high details watching beautiful environments while saving Alice's sanity) because it's super rare to find a worthy game at all.

Trying for high graphics is something like Crysis did. Where you can't run the highest settings on a high end computer. Not where an average mid- high computer maxes the game out.
TMRNetShark:
Starcraft 2 looks amazing on a mid range computer. Yet you don't see people complaining that it could be better. Crysis was a stellar game, but being able to run it on ultra NOW isn't a hard feat. Battlefield 3 on the other hand is a different story today. The recommended cards for that game is a GTX 560 or ATI 6950. Those aren't the top of the line, but I would imagine running that game with everything turned to high, 1600 x 1200+ resolution, and 64 players will put at least some strain on a lot of people's video cards, SLI/Crossfire or not.
