Will you be buying a new rig for skyrim

[yoba333]

I have a nice Sager notebook picked out that I think'll do Skyrim justice.

core 2 duo @ 3.0 GHz

6 GB RAM

Right now I'm using a GeForce 210, which is my only concern, at the moment. I'm pretty sure I could run Skyrim with it, but right now I'm looking for a graphics card that wont be too much money, but will let me get by with a decent experience.

Build I am planning on. What is this overkill you speak of?

 

Processor: Intel Core i7 990X Extreme Edition 3.46GHz (six core)

Motherboard: Asus Rampage III Extreme Intel X58

System Memory: 12GB DDR3 1600MHz Corsair Dominator DHX

Power Supply: 1200W Corsair Pro Gold Series

Hard Drive: 2x 1TB Western Digital Cavair 7200RPM 64MB cache (in a Raid1 configuration)

Graphics Card: Asus GTX 590 Dual-GPU 3GB GDDR5

Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

 

Haven't decided on a case or sound card yet. Everything else I am gonna steal off my current system like speakers, monitor, mouse, keyboard, headphones, etc.

On my Alienware M15x with ATI 5850 GDDR5 I can play any game currently on the market at max settings (this includes Crysis, mind you). The only game I've heard was really GPU taxing that I haven't played yet is Metro 2033, so hopefully Skyrim won't be too big of a technological leap, though I doubt it will be without the help of modders, due to the cross-system platforms (yes I'm pointing at you xbox 360 and PS3).

I intend on getting a new computer, at first it was because my vid card is failing as it no longer wants to run games like Two Worlds 2, or the Catalyst Control Center that I use to adjust both game settings and my screen brightness. Even though I'm still not even sure if I'm getting the right parts for it all cause this will be the first computer I've ever gotten that wasn't an All-In-One PC from a big company. It won't be just for Skyrim, but it is a big factor in what I want the computer to do.

 

What I hope to be getting if all parts are compatible:
