Bare Minimum Skyrim SE

[LucasDerpYT]

I just put this together in PC part picker. Do you think that the BARE minimum can play Skyrim Special Edition?

Yep. I'm guessing you just read off the spec sheet on the website and copied the parts? I'd go for an older HD 6950 or the like if you were saving $$$. A E5k/X5k series xeon would be adequate as well.

I actually struggled to find a Motherboard to use the USB on the case. And one of the recommended GPU's. Would a R7 240 do?

I wouldn't go for an R7 240. It is a horrible card, and is basically trashing money. As stated above, an HD 6950 is good. Looking for a newer card, I'd go for a 1050 Ti or RX 460.

k.

My dad has 16GB RAM paired with a R7 240 and is pretty ogod. It can smash any game thrown at it. Maybe not Crysis 3 or Titanfall 2, It can still play Battlefield 1 looking at the recommended specs.

Quad Core 3.1 GHZ AMD Phenom

16GB RAM

2GB Radeon R7 240

Hmm... I doubt it would need 16GB of RAM, if you look at Linus' videos, it runs similarily with 8GB, and can even run with 4. I'd recommend going for a better CPU and GPU since it is a shooter. Playing on decent quality isn't required, but it increases FPS.

Yea. He uses it Professionally for Photoshop

But also plays DDO and talks on Gamevox with it. I think its overkill for what it does. Though his integrated GPU when he bought it was crap. BTW Its a 2009 HP Pavilion. The only thing original is the motherboard, hdd,CD jack, and Windows. He upgraded another 8GB RAM and a R7 240 that he found on EBay, and now is a BEAST.

If you think the R7 240 is a beast, go get a decent mid-range GPU, like the RX 480 or GTX 1060. You will be blown away.
