The PC's good, I did well with it. However it doesn't achieve 'quite' the performance and quality I was hoping for with Skyrim.
Basically it's like this;
I bought a BEAST Processor and lots of RAM. So Room load up like BAM! Loads are damn near instant, it's wonderful.
However I believe the graphics card I'm using is a wee out of date. The game manages about the same quality as you would get on the Xbox360, which I suppose is pretty good. Especially since you have mods and such that can improve performance even more. With Skyrim, (At least for now) I don't mind ugly shadows n' wotnot, but I like to have beautiful textures.

So I think I overhyped it a little more, but I thought the Graphics card was a lot better than it is. I would overclock it, but I don't believe I have what's necessary to properly keep it cool. So it's either pay for that stuff, or just get a newer one and give this one back to my friend.
The Graphics Card is one of the few parts I had to borrow, so at least I'm not losing money on it. Plus he'll be glad to have it back..

Although as soon as I get a newer one, there will be another blog entry of me fangirling over Skyrim's new look on my PC. xD

Edit: Also the fact I'm playing it on a huge T.V, which puts a strain on the GPU. Yeah. That might be it.
