Looking at this PC that someone is selling. Will it support games like Skyrim, The Elder Scrolls Online, Dragon Age: 3, Dark Souls 2, Diablo 3, Guild Wars, all games from The Elder Scrolls Anthology, etc. Preferably on a high setting? If not, what specs or PC's do would you recommend?

Specs:

AMD Phenom II Quad-core Black edition 3.5GHz CPU, ASUS Main Board, 4GB G.Skill ripjaw gaming RAM, 500 GB HDD, nVidia GTX560ti (3D capable) graphics card, 700w OCZ modular power supply

yes-ish. First thing to upgrade would be the Gpu. Nvidia GTX 650ti BOOST is a solid purchase. Get the 2 gig version. Current and future games are starting to leverage more VRAM. You will also need to get a touch more system RAM. 8 gigs minimum. Your current system would play the games but at lowered settings I'd assume. Look at an article that Tom's Hardware put up just today on COD and Watchdogs system requirements. http://www.tomshardware.com/news/call-of-duty-ghosts-wa... . Games are needing more and more these days. Future proof your rig a bit if possible.

All this is just my opinion of course.

looks fine. im not an expert on amd socket sets so make sure your processor is compatible with your motherboard. Also if you can afford to, I'd go ahead and get a larger power supply. You can get a larger one for not too much money. Doesnt hurt to have just in case
