Will this computer run skyrim on Ultra?

[Schthy]

I am looking in to buying a new gaming computer. I am currently using a laptop that needs upgrading. Will this computer run skyrim on ultra settings? Smoothly I mean. Here is the computer I'm talking about:

NCIX.com - Canada's Premier Computer Store - Online PC Discount Store, Buy Computer Accessories

Hope someone knows, I really like the feel of pc gaming compared to Xbox. Especially with all the extra customization a PC has to offer (mods, commands, etc).

Oh yeah, with that XFX Radeon HD 7870, you are guaranteed quality xD. Bet ya the majority of that pricetag is from that monster of a GPU. HDD seems a bit small for this modern age, however. Especially with mods that could quickly suck up space. RAM looks good, you could always add more later. Everything looks great

Thanks for your reply. I'm not too computer savvy so it was helpful

Nice machine.

8 cores in an unlocked AMD CPU.
An ATI Radeon HD 7870...

You might want to get a WD Caviar blue drive for that extra space. It only has a 120GB SD, if you loading lots of games an extra drive is advisable. A Seagate 1TB barracuda is nice for this too.

Other than that... Shes got it all.

I'd bump up that Caviar Blue to Caviar Black

Wouldn't it be cheaper to build a computer of the same parts? It might save you 100/200$. Possibly more than that. Though I could be wrong.

Nice. You might want to go with Win7 though. Unless you have a touch screen Win8 is a waste. Buggy too.

I have almost the same PC (cpu, gpu and memory) and it runs 1920*1080 pretty smooth. Though i didnt found any difference if Skyrim installed on my WD Caviar Blue HDD or Corsair GT SSD.

look on tigerdirect they have some great deals on computer bundles and you can save and just put it together yourself

GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD3H Intel 7 Series Motherboard and Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40 GHz Quad Core Unlocked and Corsair Hydro H70 CORE Liquid CPU Cooler and EVGA GeForce GTX 650 1GB GDDR5 Video Card a Bundle at TigerDirect.com

If you decide to get the computer WVUbeerman linked to, I would do so now while it has a good deal. Otherwise, if you want the same build and it later jumps back to its original price, build it yourself. It will cost around 780$, rather than the 1000$. And buy from Newegg as much as you can. They generally have better prices, better support and return policy if something ever goes wrong.

When building a system, it's not just the cost of hardware, but also the cost of software. This is where the PC maker has an advantage.
