    Natewlie thanks for the heads up and if it turns out you are right, i pray to god i wont be dissapointed. Hopefully this "heavily modified" version of the gamebryo engine wont look and feel exactly like the gamebryo engine.

    Im going to write a very angry letter if this game disappoints me... Hey natewlie is there anything else you can tell us other than it has a heavily modded engine?

    I'm not Natewlie, but Skyrim MIGHT not have the adoring fan. Does that count as something?

    The adoring fan was fun to kill.

    I think i said this already buut.... how much do you guys think I would have to pay for a pc that could run this game? I know you dont have any of the specs yet but yea.. I'm going to shell and get another desktop.

    Most of today's RPG's require a minimum system spec of 256mb video card, 2 gig of ram and a decent dual core video card. Thats the minimum.(around $500)
    If you want to play the game with everything maxed out then buy a computer or build one yourself with parts around 1 year old. That should be able to handle most/all games on max.(vaguely around$1000)
    Its just a guess.

    I was actually thinking to pump around 2 to 3 thousond$ into a computer for gaming. My friend has what he calls a "super computer" and it plays pretty much and game he throws inside it.The thing is,he lives in a different city and i cant get in contact wit him.

    Your friend is over compensating for something...
    I have a 1.2 k$ computer and it runs 90% of the games i have on maxed out everything with the resolution 1920x1080.( i dont like playing games that go below 40fps and this computer lets me play games maxed out and runs them above 40fps minimum)
    If you want to spend around 3 k on a computer i personally think you are spending too much on something you don't really need. You should at least spend no more than 2k....at least.
    If you spend 24/7 in front of a computer, then go ahead considering the computer is all what keeps you alive.
    Imagine what else you could do with a spare 1k. Be more conservative, but if money is not a problem for you, then this reply is pointless.

    it depends what the computer is for. I spent about 3k on my minicomputer, but as I said, its not for games.

    But yea thats why im asking you guys, I honestly dont know nothing about computers. You'd be better off asking my dog,who ran in fromnt of a moving car while chasing his ball might i add... I dont know how much I should spend, my friend said that if i buy everything he would put it together for me if I wanted free of charge.

    Sadly i have not built my own computer. I wanted to but....my dad "surprised" me with a new computer i didnt want a few months ago. Its not the best computer, but its close and like i said it runs most of the games on maxed out graphics.
    My dad spent $1200 on it since it was a pre-made one by dell, so if you can build your own computer you should be able to spent no more than $1500.
    I will be straight up honest with you man, wait for a few more months because Nvdia has been working on a new video card for a while now so im guessing they will release it within a few months, then buy the GTX 480 or a video card similar to that since the price of the GTX 480 will decrease and so might the others.
    8 gig of DDR3 ram is good.
    You dont need more than an I7 Intel processor.
    As for mother boards, well like i said i havent built my own computer so i have never looked so deep into this along with power supplies.
    But a word of advice: dont get a huge power supply only get what your computer will need. I asked a mate one day that i was worried that my new computers power supply wasn't giving my video card enough power to perform at its best (i have a GTX260 and the power supply is 300W) so he told me to use a bench marking tool(turned out it was performing fine) and that even if i do put a larger power supply in, its like giving it 10 more hands although it can only use 2.
    Now if money isnt an issue for you. go to http://www.asus.com/entryflash.htm > select your country>Products> graphics cards choose iether the 1st or 2nd on the list. Then Products>motherboards then choose the 1st or the 2nd.
    After all that its up to you to choose which hard drive to get and stuff.
    Ohh yeah, and find a case lol.
    This is only my opinion, i have not built my own computer so im not a pro at this.
    May i suggest posting this question on another type of forum, primarily aimed at computing?
    Hope some of this at least helped :)

    ALWAYS use a bigger power supply than you need. It allows for future expansion, and additionally running a PSU close to its rated output SIGNIFICANTLY increases the chance of it failing and killing other components. I'm surprised your computer even functions with a 300W PSU. A benchmarking tool is of no help in this case, documented ratings and a basic understanding of electronics is.

    8GB of ram is overkill, I run everything fine with 4GB.

    Randomly selecting parts from a manufacturer website is NOT a sensible way to build a computer.
