No, it doesn't add a portal gun, but more importantly, it doesn't add Justin Beiber taking ballet dancing from Woody Allen--although, there might be a fix for Beiber somewhere in there:)

If you want to see the laundry list of fixes, here it is:

A gaming PC capable of running Skyrim smoothly on default "High" settings or greater, will run you about $600-$700 USD, including an OEM copy of Windows.


I built my PC in 2009, it cost just a couple dollars under $600, with all parts purchased on Newegg. I didn't need peripherals (screen, keyboard, mouse, speakers) and already have a copy of Windows.
AMD Phenom II x4 955 BE @ 3.6
Radeon HD 4850 512MB
4GB Kingston 1333
WD 500GB 7200RPM
Asus M4A87+
Antec Earthwatts 650w 80%+

Runs the preset "High" (with certain sliders like Object fade set to max manually) at 40+ FPS normally (1680 x 1050), hovers above 30 in very busy cities. *shrug* A gaming PC doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg, but it will if you demand the latest and greatest. Tomshardware.com will be a great help to you if you're looking for a place to start. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-pc-overclocking-pc-building,3273.html detailing the performance you can expect to see spending around $500, if you select the appropriate parts.

One of the best resources for finding mods is http://skyrimgems.com/ With that you should be able to find all of the major mods you need to get started in an extremely easy to navigate format.

I paid a fair amount for my PC then had a AMD HD graphics card installed but it was worth it. You can get a descent PC that willl run Skyrim for the cost of 2 ps3's. Maybe not on the high and certainly not on ultra but low to medium settings.
