New PC, is it enough?

[Roblaw85]

I've managed to get hold of the following spec pc through my work (due next week) and I want to know if this will be enough to run the latest games on max settings. I've never had a gaming pc before and can't wait to get going! It's not a custom build, so I just need to work with what I have.

 

First on my list is skyrim. I know it's not exactly new but I'm hoping this spec will be enough to run a ton of mods at high frame rate for immersion and high realism. Will I be disappointed?

You could run Skyrim with many mods. It would be like 40-70 fps

[FMod]

That's not a good build, but why look a gift horse in the mouth. It will run Skyrim with a reasonable amount of mods at good frame rates.

[KJB2016]

It's a pretty good system will run most new games at 1080p 60fps @ ultra/high settings, although fallout 4 may cause problems because it is unoptomized and runs like s#*! on a lot of things.

Really can't complain because it's free and could always upgrade in future, was just hoping it was enough not to need upgrading straight away

Well, Skyrim runs on basically any toaster atm, but some mods along with ENB may put on it's knees best modern rigs, but I don't think you'll be using them unless you showcasing.

 

Build is really not that good, worst part is GPU, too weak, but I think you can upgrade it later. Also Win 10 Home Edition is complete crap, try to get Professional or Enterprise (even 7 or 8 Pro/Ent are better).

I know this is late, but check my specs (Using Speccy) and take into account how old my PC is and the fact it is a Laptop (Cause Desktops are stronger than Laptops)

 

Laptop Model

Model: Dell Vostro 3446, 2014

CPU: Intel i3-4005U, 1.70Ghz, 2xCore

GPU: Nvidia 820M, 2GB

RAM: 8GB, DDR3, 800Mhz

Storage: Samsung 850 EVO SSD, 500GB

OS: Windows 7, 64-bit

 

I can run Skyrim with more mods than Fallout 4, though I play at Low Settings, I don't notice Lag. This same Laptop also plays GTA5 & MGS5 as well and when were they made about 1 Year after my Laptop and I'm playing them okay.

 

Conclusion

YOUR DESKTOP'S POWER IS OVER NINE HUNDRED THOuSAND!!! :pirate: (Besides your desktop is upgradeable)

Well, I have a similar setup but with 2 x SSD's and a Radeon R9 380 4gb wich is just a tiny bit faster than the GTX 960. Running 242 mods ( no enb mod though ) at 65 - 70 fps average at high settings. So for playing a modded Skyrim you are ok. Tip. install Enboost. It will help keeping up the framerates quite much.
