@ 1920x1080 resolution you're not even close. Both Skyrim and BF3 require something along the lines of SLI 560's or a GTX 680 to run maxed out and maintain frame rates of 60 or above.

The hardware you've listed is not for serious gaming. If you're willing to reduce some settings then you'd get adequate game play.

I'm assuming that this is going to be a pre-built gaming computer?

Edit: Where are you going to be buying it from? Try and build it yourself. You will be able to buy better parts and have better warranty on them. I'm sure someone around here would be nice enough to guide you through it all on Skype. I assembled my rig in less than 2 hours.

Don't worry I'm going to buy all these parts and assemble them myself.

Okay.. What do I have to do to play games at 1080? Should I get i5 or the better card?

We need to know where you’re buying the parts and budget.
