Hello. I haven't bought Skyrim yet because the computer I have now is quite old and won't run it straight. So next week i'm gonna get a new computer and I came just to confirm if I can handle Skyrim at max settings with these specs:

HardDrive: 1 TB SATA, 7200rpm
RAM: 6GB
Graphic card: NVIDIA GeForce GT530 - 2GB
Processor: Intel? Core? i5-2320 - 3,00GHz (Turbo 3,30GHz)
Audio System: HD Audio 8.1
Operting System: Windows 7 Home Premium - 64 Bits

So, can I?

CPU is fine but your graphics card is very weak.

Hows it weak? I've seen this thing runnning games like Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3 on max settings.

You made a spelling mistake on only the fourth letter of the first word of your very first post ever!
Excellent. You'll fit in perfectly...

I'm not english. I'm portuguese.

Are you sure it's a GT530?

here are the specs:

CUDA Cores : 96
Graphics Clock (MHz) : 700
Texture Fill Rate (billion/sec) : 11.2
Memory Clock : 898 MHz
Standard Memory Config : 1 GB or 2 GB DDR3
Memory Interface Width : 128-bit
Memory Bandwidth (GB/sec) : 28.8

If so then yes it's very weak and in bold is why.

Yes I am sure. I would show you if I could. I can't post links it seems. If this is not good, then what is? I can't waste too much money on a new computer, and this one is a bit expensive.

Is it a laptop? If so then don't bother, gaming laptops are expensive. To play Skyrim on max settings you need quite a powerful PC.

Depending on your budget I would recommend building your own pc. You definitely need a way better video card to play on max settings.

Then I see 2 options.

1. Buy for PS3 and save allot of money.
2. I need to go on a epic quest to find someone to build me a computer which is trustworthy enough to make me something powerfull lower then 800 euros that can last me a long time.

If all you're wanting to do with a pc is play this game, then I'd recommend just getting it for the PS3.

If you do decide to find someone to build you a pc, I can say that 800 euros over here (US) would build a fairly decent system. Not sure how it would be over there, though. Maybe some european lurkers could chime in.
