the patch has made the game run a little more smoothly, still experience some hiccups here and there


also I'm looking for a good one-handed sword; hard to believe i'm still using the skyforge steel sword, I enchanted it with fire and my attack for one-handed weapons up 60% so I guess that's what's been keeping me afloat.

How much smithing do you have? Dwarven and Elven swords are better than Skyforge and you only need 30 of Smithing to get them. Also, you can try to find the Ghostblade on Ansilvund Excavation. It's at 9 base damage, does 3 points of extra damage ignoring armour ratings and it's improved with Ectoplasms (you'll need Arcane Smithing - Smithing 60 - to be able to improve it though).

it's somewhere in the low 20's...looks i got some training to do...

There's a cheap way to increase Smithing, if you're interested: 

For only 1 Leather and 2 Leather Strips, you can spam forge Hide Bracers to increase your Smithing to whatever level you want. I don't recommend doing this often, as this can overpower your character way too much.
