and had planned to buy a gtx 760 come my birthday (on the 8th, in a week). However, in the meantime, I planned to play [strike]one of my favorite games[/strike] my favorite game on console on my new PC. I know Skyrim is a pretty old game, so I thought I would get decent frame rates on low (1366x768) on a 720p monitor. Apparently not. I'm getting 18-35 max fps and I don't know why. Also, I'm thinking about the graphics card. Which do you recommend for my build? I don't want to give a budget because I want to get a variety of answers but no more than high 200's
EDIT: Before everyone starts bitching about how bad Intel graphics suck (I already understand they do), I just wanted to leave a benchmark for Skyrim at 1366x768 on MEDIUM settings on a 1080p monitor:
