Not surprising the GTX 670 is a great card, so is your CPU. You could play at 1080p at high fps with that build, you're playing in a low resolution.

Cool story bro.

Yeah that is not surprising at all, GTX 670 is quite good and Skyrim isn't uber graphics demanding like BF3, FC3, Metro, Crysis...

I had an older rig almost identical to loresr97 with a GTX 550 Ti and a Pentium G860 that eventually got upgraded to a i5 3570K and even with the Pentium it played it at ultra at similar resolution.
