Your PC will run Skyrim on high settings just fine. My primary rig is a Phenom II 1090T, Radeon 6870 and 16g of RAM. Of course, that can run most anything on at least high settings. However, I have an old E521 that I recently upgraded for fun and it runs Skyrim on high with no problem at all. Here's what to do:

1. Upgrade your CPU to a used Athlon 64x2 5800+ (used, around $25) or, for another $10-15, get a 6000+

2. Upgrade your vid card to a Radeon HD 6670, but make sure it's a DDR5 with 1 gig of vid memory; and

3. Upgrade your RAM to 4GB.

All of that should cost you no more than $100-125.

I can even run Battlefield 3 on that rig with ease.

Good luck.
