The 100th "Does this rig look good to you? etc."

[Ryo Phoenix]

So yeah it's one of "those" threads. Basically, i previously had the idea that I was master techie and would have no problem making my own rig, but i've come to realize that if I attempted to build my own pc it'd end up like the last time I had sex. It'd be over quite quick and messy, and I would've realized I just wasted quite a bit of money. So, being the techinical goose that I am, i've come to seek the great advice of my fellow nexus'rs to see if what im buying would be enough to run skyrim on highish settings. My budget is around £500.

 

3rd gen i5-3350P

4gb ram

AMD Radeon™ HD 7570 1GB DDR5 Graphics Card

1tb hardrive

It's quite meh. Skyrim isn't very hard to run, but idk what kind of settings you'll get. A 7570 is really just a rebranded older card, so keep that in mind. If you can find something with a 6770 or even a 6670, you'd probably be better off.

[Erik005]

The 7570 would not run skyrim very well, a 7750 or 6670 would be a better choice.

 

The CPU is good though.

Best GPU for the money: December

Even if you are low on cash, I recommend at least 6670 or 7750.

 

If you can, I also recommend 8gb of RAM. Sure 4gb is enough for the most part, but sometimes its not enough (highest I have used is about 4,7gb iirc).

Make sure your motherboard is compatible with your cpu. I didn't see you list one, so idk what you have.
