Thank you for any help, my main hurdle to PC gaming has been not being familiar with building on. Go easy on me, I admit my ignorance on this aspect of gaming. |
You could build one for half that.
Skyrim is a consolised game running on an ancient modified game engine (Gamebryo) that could run on a Geforce 3 Ti (See: Oldblivion).
It's only a dual-threaded game (Like Oblivion), so a decently clocked Ivy Bridge Dual-Core is more than enough, pair it with 8gb of Ram which is cheap and a decent video card or two and you're set for playing Skyrim with all the pretties turned on.
You should also go back and try out Oblivion heavily modded, after all these years of mod releases it looks incredible, putting anything on consoles (And even Skyrim!) to shame. :P
