Would this run?

I am about to place a deposit on a PC I will be getting in 2 months.

Before I do I would like to see how well you think it will run Skyrim (I know the specs have not yet been released.)

I am going to assume that the system will come with a 64bit operating system, to take advantage of the 8 gig of ram. Given those basics though, I don't think it will have a problem running Skyrim, but, you won't be able to max it out with that vid card. Bumping to the 5770, or 5870 would get you better performance. But, if you don't need to have everything maxed.... that should be fine.

Just a wild guess.. but, probably 5 or 6 with the current list of hardware. Along with the GPU upgrade, I would seriously consider going with the Phenom II quad-core CPU....... At this point in time, they are dirt cheap. I paid under 200 for my X4 965 Black 3.4ghz processor.
