TheStupidName Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Hello, I'm looking to build a pc that can run Skyrim smoothly on ultra w/ a good amount of mods. Any idea on the general price range? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilrejected Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 $1000-$2000 approx, depending on what you want in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slainia Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I got mine off newegg last year for just over 700. Plays really nicely on high - the only actual complaints I have are a loud hard drive and the size of the hd itself. (l went with a smaller one to save $.)Check new egg & tigerdirect out and see what they have for prices. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archey6 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 (edited) $1000-$2000 approx, depending on what you want in it. Completely false. My PC is 2-3 years old and I run ultra + 2k, flora overhaul, lush grass/trees. ATI HD58508GB DDR3 RAMAMD Phenom II x6 1055T 2.80 GHz I Average 40-50 FPS. This hardware today would run you ~800 Edited October 28, 2012 by archeyreece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rennn Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 (edited) $1000-$2000 approx, depending on what you want in it. Nope... $900 for ultra at 60 fps most of the time, and I use many, many mods. Once in a while in Riften it'll drop lower. My specs are in my sig. The framerate will drop into the 50s in Riften and once in a while around the Solitude Swamp. if I don't use mods I get 140 fps on ultra standing in the tundra, lol. The tundra just looks that bad I guess. Edited October 28, 2012 by Rennn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enatiomorph Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 (edited) 550-650 bucks (if you already have an OS). It's not hard to max out Skyrim. Edited October 28, 2012 by Enatiomorph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slainia Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I got a friend to order it for me & let me pay him so he could build the thing. Thank god for that, or I woulda been SOL. This one had the features i wanted in a price I could handle. At the time (this was a year ago now) the pre-built ones I was looking at weren't gonna work out, though thye would've been easy. I was fairly impressed with newegg tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
