^^ +1 It should be able to run Skyrim on High. But, it seems too overpriced to me. You should consider building your own PC :D. Also, I think you would get more frames per second than in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxgnymh1YAw because the processor in that video might be holding the gpu back a little bit, or as we call it: causing a bottleneck. In fact with your PC, you would be able to get 80 FPS on Normal at 1080p! Anywayz Hope I helped! Best of luck. ALSO, PLEASE DO A GOOGLE SEARCH NEXT TIME, BECAUSE ANSWERS ARE EASILY FOUND, AND IT IS MUCH QUICKER THAN WAITING FOR A REPLY ON THESE FORUMS. And we don't want our forums to be polluted with questions that have already been answered like this one.

Hey,
Just thought I'd mention some extra precautions. Your Mobo is one of these (16mb supported)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007625%20600138080%20600008629&IsNodeId=1&name=16GB&Order=PRICED&Pagesize=20

If you compare them to this chart https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AgN1D79Joo7tdE9xMUFlMEVWeFhuckJEVF9aMmtpUFE&gid=0
you will see that many of the possible mobos might have trouble with that CPU. The PSU is something to factor in aswell; if you start having troubles, it's likely one of the two.

They seem to shove the worst mobos and PSU in prebuilts, which is one reason why I try to never recommend them. This isn't to say however, that your computer won't work fine, it seems to have "ok" reviews. Enjoy gaming :)

I would shut off the computer always. Reduces your powerbill and may even make your parts last longer (from less usage) . That's just imo though.
