I'd say save a little bit more and make it decent for Skyrim, too. I've the feeling that there will be many epic mods for it, too

(even more if the DX11 support is nice and easily accessible for modders).
In the meantime, http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1161691-what-did-your-character-do-today-3/page__st__160 if you feel like reading quite a bit

(current one: Imperial Legion Battlemage Officer).
Hmm... You are right, I think saving for a Pc for Skyrim to sounds like a good idea

saving up an extra couple hundred wont be too hard

I will definatly give it a read

Might I suggest you give my fanfic a read? It is on chorrol.com, named 'a daughters promise - lissa cristenns journal'
I would put a link but it wont work for me! Damn iPhone internet! Haha
