does it have what it takes to run Morrowind and Skyrim at the same time ?

I dont exactly know what a system specs is

but is windows 7 64 bit

1TB hardrive

10GB RAM

AMD A10-5700 (quad core)

ATI Radeon HD 5450 Graphics Card

Came with ASUS keyboard (really dont know how to find exact model looks pretty generic to me)

and a SteelSeries Diable 3 gaming mouse

I only have 2 gripes about it

1. its named BESTBUY instead of User and i have to look at that brand name every time i open task manager ...

and

2. only has a 60 day Trial Antivirus ... Norton Security



also sorry if this is wrong section but didn't know where to post it due to reasons :3

go on a website called canyourunit and search a game on the site
it will tell you if your computer can handle the game.

just because my computer surpasses the requirements doesn't mean I can run it

back in the 90's when doom was still all the rage and popularness my uncle bought a new computer soo amazingly awesome at its time that it couldn't run any video games untill newer ones were made

so maybe I can run skyrim but will Morrowind work ?

You're afraid it won't run Morrowind? :blink:

it'll probably run Skyrim on medium settings just fine.

You can always create a new account and remove the "BESTBUY" user account after you set up the new user. Also, make an administrator account (but don't use it 24/7!!!), as you'll need one for software installs.

Your machine should be more than sufficient to play both games.

Oh, and I have to say, this is the first time I've seen someone buy a tower in a long time. I didn't know they still made them. :D

no its not the user that can be changed its the computer name its self (when you 1st build a computer some time before you verify the copy of windows or some time after it it will prompt you to name the computer which usaully means just type "User" if going to sell to a customer but if its custom built by persion that gonna use it can be more fance and put your favourite nickname or even your name) so to undo this id have to nuke it and do it over (reformat it and reinstall)

As opposed to what?

A laptop?

A desktop is far more bang for the buck and a Hell of a lot easier to work on and upgrade.
