i spent 869 dollars on newegg parts, not only for skyrim but for next gen games as well. my pc is about 6 years old now, needed some new hardware.
i recently installed
intel i7 2600 3.4 ghz 8mb cache.
a beefy cpu heatsink, this thing hasn't let my cpu run above 32c so i may consider overclocking at some point
16 gb of ram thats right im crazy like that. 4gb a stick 1600 mhz
120 gb ssd drive oblivion always had horrible loading times, this is just for games that need it.
and a beautiful evga motherboard to fit it all in.
and a fresh windows 7 64 bit install.
i also have 2 1 tb hard drives for storage that i recycled and a geforce gtx 480 i got last year.
this is actually my first pc i built it was fun, ive built them before in technical school but never wanted to actually chip in the money to build my own, sure some parts were recycled from a previous pc but i still feel proud of it.
