My computer doesnt meet close to those standards lol I really need a upgrade
and btw for graphics I suggest Nvidia
www.Nvidia.com

[LordCutlerBeckett]

I have an Nvidia card right now that, with the estimations, will run Skyrim fine. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

[pecon7]

No

Yes.

I am looking to build my own computer as well.

This totals up to approximately $600, however you may be able to simply downgrade certain things to cheapen it and it should still run well.

Can you post your specs?
Then we can tell you what parts to keep, and which to upgrade, saving you valuable money!

I don't want to make a computer specifically for just Skyrim, I would like to upgrade it all the while. I have a motherboard with an AGP slot, and that's all. That needs all the upgrading in hell.

2.4 GHz processor, Intel Pentium 4
1.5GB memory, DDR (motherboard has four DDR slots, also not good)
NVIDIA Geforce 7300 GT, 512 MB, DDR2

Unless you need more information, that's all I can get for now. I do not know the wattage on my PSU or whatever.

Also, pecon, the video card is deactivated. :l I would also like a 1GB card, if I can fit it in with my low budget.

Morrowind

That game is so old its on my original Xbox. Go buy Skryim or Fallout: New Vegas.

[pecon7]

I found another cheaper video card that I am actually going to use instead since that last one was deactivated.

[LordCutlerBeckett]

I do not have a copy of Windows 7, which wasn't an issue at hand, but thanks.

Looking over everything.

EDIT: OH MY GOD ETHAN YOU ARE loving GOD

Not really, but this blows MaximumPC out of the water. Thanks!

[kevin 51l]

you'd also need an optical drive (where you put your CD's and stuff) if you'd want to install W7

they're only like 20 bucks though and any of them would work

I was aware of this when Ethan didn't post one. I really have no clue what to do with optical drives, other than the fact I need a DVD-rom one and it needs to fit the case or something. I also need to be careful with that case, people say it's very flimsy. :l

edit: The motherboard got some bad feedback. Having second thoughts about it. Memory has bad feedback...

[LordCutlerBeckett]

Bump.

Does this ODD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827118031
Work with this case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811233061

I have no idea how ODD's are compatible to cases or something. :l
