but if you've never been a PC gamer, you might be surprised at how incredibly frustrating and expensive it is to keep your PC upgraded and get games like Skyrim to run smoothly.
Frustrating? Depends if you can read instructions, match colors and match shapes, or not. That is essentially all it takes to put a computer together.
Expensive? Depends what you're aiming for. Starting from scratch with your first build can be a bit pricey. But upgrading little by little isn't that pricey.
Getting Skyrim to run smoothly? Once you meet the minimum requirements, all you have to do is play around with the video settings until it runs smooth. Not complicated at all.
