Newbiest of the Newbs

Alright, so, a little introduction: I've literally just purchased Skyrim for the PC (about 2 hours ago), having seen the wonders of mods on Youtube; for the record, I (my brother, actually) already own the PS3 version and just couldn't resist the temptation.

 

Now, as you can see in the attached file, I've used CYRI (Can You Run It) in order to determine my PC's compatibility with Skyrim and ended up around 45% of the bar, which - while showing that my PC meets the minimum requirements - isn't enough to tell me whether it (the PC) could handle any patches downloaded in the future (The Unofficial Patch, in particular).

 

Finally, here's the actual meat of the topic: is there a guide/user out there (or in here) that/who can literally tell me what to do, step-by-step, in order to gurantee high performance in terms of FPS?

(I realize there's this Nexus Manager thingy, but I'm very, very cluless; also, when I said step-by-step, I meant that the game itself is still in its box - I haven't even installed it yet in fear of messing up even a single step)

 

 

 

Edit: I've found the Wiki page, so feel free to close this topic :)
