It will run and you should be able to play Skyrim on medium settings and resolution and as far as how well it will run is something you will have to find out by using it and using the different settings to get acceptable performance. The brands used are not top quality and can't be because of the low budget so as far as how long it will last is anybody guess but it will run.
