Just based on my experience running skyrim with multiple mod pack Best price/performance setup for skyrim in early 2022 with following setting: 1080p / Ultra setting / stable 60 fps with 0.1% fps low 59fps - not shutter at all / Special edition or newer (which will use more than 4 cores) Lots mod (with high texture pack) Desktop version: CPU: Any 6 cores(or more) CPU that run at geekbench 5 with mark above 1000+ single core and 5000+ multiple core https://browser.geekbench.com/processor-benchmarks Two good options - Ryzen 5600G (which you can play it with integrated GPU in medium setting with most mod (excluding texture pack) while waiting GPU price drop) - Intel 12400 (can play skyrim with integrated GPU in low setting with most mod (excluding texture pack) while waiting GPU price drop) RAM: 16GB (make sure use two sticks 8GB with dual channel) GPU: You want to have 10GB or more vram because texture pack will eat up to 10GB at 1080p, some options are RTX 3060 12GB version (new card, should be available for most place and price should be reasonable) GTX 1080 TI (older card, but you can find it use for cheaper) Storage: You want to use SSD for sure, pretty much any TLC SSD with DRAM cache will be fine. Make sure to prepare at least 1TB because some of the mod are huge. Laptop version: Actually laptop is not recommend for best skyrim experience with full mod, but if you really have to, choose this one ASUS - ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition 15.6" FHD Gaming Laptop
