CPU: i5 750
GPU: 2 HD 5850s in crossfire
RAM: 4gb
OS: Windows 7 64 bit

I'm fairly certain that I will be able to max out the game at 1080p.

In a few weeks I will have the following PC:

Intel Core i5-2500 Quad Core 3.3 Ghz
ASUS P8P67 PRO
8GB DDR3 RAM 1333 Mhz
1.25GB GTX 570
2TB Hard Drive
1000W Power Supply (for going SLI in the future)
Triple Copper Heatpipe Cooling
Windows 7 64-bit
Iiyama E2271 22" Monitor
Logitech G9x Laser Gaming Mouse
Cyborg V5 Gaming Keyboard

But "only" makes a grand a week. Better sign up for footstamps! I sure wish I "only" made a g a week.

Depending on where they live, they just might need food stamps.

As for my system...

Intel Core i7 950 @ 3.07 Ghz
6.0 GB Ram
1.5 gb Nvidia Geforce GTX 480
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

Then I have a Dell Trinitron monitor that's well over ten years old. I plan on getting a new one before Skyrim comes out.

26 lb. POS with a screen.

Actually, I might get a new graphics card before then, so it won't be such a POS by then.

Looks like you will have a fun time with this setup.

Will you have enough space to install Windows + all your games and any mods on the SSD?

Lol its not what it sounds like its only like 700 after taxes and that coupled with bills and putting the wife through her masters with the least amount of student loans possible on just that income, it gets tight

Quite a few KILLLAR SANDY BRIDGE RIGZZ!!

Sorry went into "hardware-enthusiast" mode. I'll custom build my PC, like everything I've ever owned, buying piece by piece. Probably not a Sandybrige mobo but a bulk-standard core 2 quad socket 775mobo with a decent card. I still have my OEM case from the very first ATX system, with new parts and a fan running beside it. Better not save up on the PSU this time though...

+1 same here. Maybe I'll just rob a bank. lol.

ANYTHING FOR TES. <3 TODD HOWARD!

/13 yr old girl rave.

Playstation 3 because i don't have the money to ungrade

CPU: AMD Phenom II 965 Black Edition
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-790XTA
Video Card: MSI GTX480 1,5GB

Hard drives: 1TB Seagate Barracuda 7200.12
Sound card: Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic
Display: 24" Samsung SyncMaster 245B 1920x1200

im ready

THIS AGAIN? Screw it, I can't convince anyone to wait for the system specs to be released. Here's what I'm saving up for:


Operating system Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Processor AMD Phenom™ X4 955 quad-core processor [3.2GHz, 2MB L2 + 6MB L3 shared, up to 4000MHz]
Memory 6GB DDR3-1333MHz SDRAM [3 DIMMs]
Hard drive 1TB 7200 rpm SATA 3Gb/s
Office software Microsoft® Office Home and Student 2010
Security software Norton Internet Security™ 2011 - 15 month
Graphics card 1GB DDR3 AMD Radeon HD 6570 [DVI, HDMI. VGA adapter]
Primary optical drive LightScribe 16X max. DVD+/-R/RW SuperMulti drive and a 16x max. DVD ROM (player)
Networking Integrated Ethernet port, No wireless LAN
Productivity ports 15-in-1 memory card reader, 1 USB, 1394, audio
Sound Card Integrated sound
Keyboard and Mouse HP USB keyboard and optical mouse
Headsets & webcams Logitech ClearChat Comfort USB Headset
Cables & power Monster Cable PowerProtect MP AV 600 6 Outlets Surge Suppressor
Speakers HP 2-piece USB Speakers

I'm pretty sure it can handle Skyrim, It costs 840.37 USD w/out the MS Office software, no monitor (my TV has a VGA port so it's all good).

There, now you have your target.

O, yah. and this isn't set in stone. I might spring for something else.

I am, and im saving up for my new gaming rig!

Im gonna use my future computer that will be bought in a few months

Right now:
Core 2 Quad 9450 @ 2.66 GHZ
6 GB DDR3 RAM
Geforce 9800GT
2 500 GB 7200rpm & 1 400 GB 5400rpm internal drives; 1 1 TB & 1 250 GB external drives
Vista/Ubuntu 64 bit dual boot

By the time Skyrim (& X:Rebirth - which will be the real system hog game) comes out this fall:
Core I7-980 6 core
12 to 24 GB DDR3 RAM
1.5 - 2 TB 7200rpm drive
Undecided on Graphics card
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit

Yes.

This is why I will be playing it on one of our lab computers. 1/3 of them get replaced every year. While I do not know the specs exactly just yet I can safely estimate they will have top of the line components for the time they are ordered.

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 3.0 Ghz
Motherboard: Gigabyte P35 DS4
Video Card: Asus GTX260TOP
Memory: 3,5 Gb DDR2 667 MHz
Power supply: Coolermaster GX (?) 750 Watt
Hard drives: 160GB something-something at a speed of something
Sound card: Realtek something in the mobo
OS: Windows XP Home SP3
"Speakers": Cheap but loud NGS 2.1 system
Display: Samsung Syncmaster 225bw

I'd like to upgrade, but can't afford a substantial enough upgrade for it to be worthwhile, and don't think it's even necessary yet. I don't know [censored] about these things, how does that rig look (obsolete? fine? fine for years to come still? something?)?

I'll be playing on PS3, unless I somehow get enough money to get my PC good enough to play it.

I do intend on buying the PC version eventually though, but probably not for a year or so.

In my sig but anyway...
CPU : Intel i7 970 @ 4.2GHz (6 core with hyperthreading)
Mobo : Asus P6T Deluxe V2
RAM : (You didn't mention it, you should) Corsair 6GB 2000MHz
GPU : Two GTX 570's
PSU : Corsair 850TX
SSD/HDD : 80GB Intel SSD, WD 1TB 7200RPM HDD
Screen : (Another thing you didn't mention) A 27 inch Asus 1920x1080 screen, thinking of getting two more but not likely

Also have a laptop, not sure if i'll be using it with skyrim though (Its the kinda game where you sit back in your chair and immerse yourself, not sit on the couch in daylight)
Its an MSI 660R, Its got an i7 740QM, GTX 285, 6GB 1333MHz ram, two 500GB 7200RPM HDD's, and a 1920x1080 HDMI screen.

Also if you don't mind me saying, that PSU is totally unnecessary... by the time you will need to use all that power, it will be dead... cant help but think you've just gone on newegg or something, found the most expensive stuff and copy and pasted it over, the way it says GDDR5 16x pci express and stuff which is the kinda unnecessary stuff that online site add onto the end of their products... I'm just like that lol.

Money well spent... I've had a 4890 before, fine cards. A lesson to the people who think you need to spend tons for a decent gaming desktop...
