How well will this run Skyrim?

How well will this computer run Skyrim?

I'm not looking to run the game at max settings, I don't care about that. I'm just looking to run it at medium to low settings. As long as its playable and doesn't look like a slideshow, I'll be happy. As long as it runs about 40 to 60 FPS, even during battles, because that's all I need.

It'll run Skyrim decently.
It meets the recommended requirements pretty much to a T, I just wouldn't recommend any sort of graphics mods (ENB, texture replacers, etc.). With a quad core processor you should be fine having any other mods if you even want them, but I wouldn't load up on them (i.e. download 150+ mods).

But yeah, you should be good with that desktop. I'm not 100% on what graphics preset it could run on, but my best guess is a solid medium to the lower spectrum of high.

Thanks. That was my guess as well.
