This is a hardware guide to help you decide what will give you the greatest performance boost within a generic price range. However, it is more than that. You will gain knowledge and understanding of these system components, learn why they are important, and even general installation guidelines. ''It is '''not''' a guide of required hardware to run Skyrim;'' though, for reference each section will outline Skyrim's official system requirements in regards to that section. You will also find a general recommendation to be able to run STEP is all it's glory. This guide is written with the assumption that you have basic computer building skills and general knowledge of the system components.
<div style="margin-left:2em;">


When reading this guide please keep in mind the official minimum system requirements will only get you playing the game and nothing else. The official recommended system requirements will only get you playing the game on medium to high settings. To play Skyrim with a STEP installation, you will need the STEP recommended hardware or higher. The following the will be your guides which matches the STEP Guide:

==== {{Fc|highlight|'''Group Settings Tab'''}} ====
Core mods only; performance options wherever possible. Your poor box needs all of the mercy that you can spare it, but you can't go without STEP! These recommendations will not be much more that the official recommended system requirements.

== CPU ==
: {{fs|1.15em|'''Status Updates'''}}
Skyrim is incredibly dependent on a fast processor, to such an extent that even with the fastest available processor you will still very often find it to be the limiting performance factor in your game. In order to accommodate a new processor, you often have to buy a new motherboard, which can severely effect the "bang-for-your-buck" aspect of upgrading your CPU.  The minimum recommendations for upgrading when purchasing for AMD you'll want an FX-Series (Zambezi) or for Intel a Core I5 (Ivy Bridge) unless you already have a sandy bridge in which case just stick with it. The closer you can get to 4Ghz (higher is faster) the better and as for multi-core, Skyrim uses the first 2 pretty effectively and after that the value for each additional core seems to be geometrically diminished.

== SSD ==
: {{fs|1.15em|'''Moderation'''}}
Skyrim requires 6 GB of hard drive space un-modded, and you can easily triple that with heavy modding. Skyrim has a great many loading screens, and you can greatly diminish the time spent on these screens by installing Skyrim on an SSD (solid-state drive), as well as increasing overall stability and performance of the game. If you do not have an SSD the next best thing would be to install an extremely fast traditional drive or a RAID0 array (Caution: RAID0 can be unstable longterm, see [[wikipedia:Standard_RAID_levels#RAID_0_failure_rate|here]] for details). When Purchasing an SSD, SATA 6 GB/s is what your looking for (at $1/GB) and make sure your motherboard supports it natively through AHCI (set it up to use AHCI in BIOS as it is never the default, and must be done before OS detection), otherwise you will find your uber-SSD running in emulated IDE mode.

Each GPU in a system must have its own dedicated VRAM that is not shareable, additionally in order for GPU's to work together they need to have access to exactly the same resources. What this means is that for multi-gpu configurations (whether it is several different cards or multiple chips on a single card) all VRAM memory must be mirrored, so if you add up your total VRAM and divide by the number of GPU's you get your '''functional''' dedicated VRAM. All the extra VRAM for each additional GPU makes absolutely no performance difference whatsoever, it is entirely utilized to make the GPU's able to work together seamlessly.  So lets say you have just spent $1620 for 3 HD 7970's in Crossfire, what you would expect is that your games will now have 9GB of VRAM available to them, in reality you are still limited to 3GB and the other 6GB is utilized entirely to make the other GPU's compatible.}}

The following chart lists cards by GPU power and sorts them into tiers along with a range of appropriate VRAM amounts required to get the best performance/price value.

First check your own video cards model and specs, if your card is on the table already you don't need to upgrade unless you have less than 1GB VRAM. If not peruse for an upgrade in your price range. Note that if you upgrade from one model on this list to another, jumping at least 3 tiers is recommended in order to actually be able to 'feel' the upgrade, anything less is fairly trivial.

Not all models will be available with recommended VRAM as that is entirely up to manufacturers, it's up to you to find one with the appropriate VRAM specs. Also be aware that these are seriously oversimplified recommendations, all types of different configurations are available for each model, I am just suggesting a rather idealized upgrade path, don't hesitate to buy a card (if you feel its a good price) just because its slightly below the ideal.

My personal conclusion at this point is that for ballsout graphics without sending you to the poorhouse (and future-proof for 4 years) a GTX 670 4GB (of Samsung DDR5) priced at $400 is the way to go, it may be several months before we see this but I am a patient man.  The 670 is only 4% slower than the 680 and has much less cooling issues, the Samsung DDR5 is proving to be much faster and more reliable than other vendors and 4GB should be sufficient to guarantee 4 years of usefulness.  Go to [http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107-7.html Toms Hardware] if your looking for a comprehensive chart, it was used as a primary information source.

The video card is easily the most expensive part of a gaming computer and thus although it is quite critical, when formulating a performance/price scale it move quite dramatically.
Second and last tier of moderation staff.  
<div style="margin-left:2em;">


Video cards need DirectX 9 support with a minimum of 1GB of VRAM to run Skyrim, although 2-4GB is highly preferable. Here the GPU although still critical, is much less important than the total VRAM, and SLI/Crossfire can be helpful for an fps boost particularly if using Ultra settings and Post Processors (but certainly not enough to warrant buying another card, unless you have at least 2-4GB on each card and want to run in 3D or Multiple Monitor Mode).
'''Primary Group'''<br>
'''Secondary Group:''' ''Citizen''


Minimum recommended GPU models are the Nvidia GTX 550TI or ATI HD 6850 each with 2GB VRAM (these are last seasons mid-range models  with a boosted VRAM and available fairly cheap at ~$150, 1GB versions run only $35 less and you will hate yourself if you skimp here). PCIe 3.0 x16 support would be nice here but certainly not necessary (unless you are spending $500 or more), but a PCIe 2.0 with a full x16 dedicated bandwidth is a really good idea, check your motherboard for this support.

== System RAM ==
: {{fs|1.15em|'''Signatures'''}}
As for system memory 4GB is the required minimum for all STEP installations, and though the Extreme install recommends up to 6GB your system may never need more than 4GB to run a stable Skyrim when heavily modded. If your system runs out of VRAM it resorts to using your system memory which is slower and the main cause of stuttering. If you plan on using mods with high texture resolutions make sure you have at least 6GB to be safe and at least 1.5GB of VRAM to keep the game-play smooth.

If you have less than 4GB of system RAM move it to the top of your upgrade list. System RAM is inexpensive so it won't break your budget. If you plan on upgrading it is recommended you buy a dual-channel kit, which is simply a package with two identical memory modules, if your motherboard supports it. Dual-channel is faster and more efficient than running single modules. Consult your motherboards list of supported models before purchase, which can often limit your choices. If you motherboard doesn't support at least DDR2 modules, you might consider upgrading your board to support the newer, faster architectures like DDR3.

== OS ==
: {{fs|1.15em|'''Deleting'''}}
A word on Windows 64-bit: while not necessary, x64 will allow you to add more than 4GB of system RAM and that will increase stability in your games. I would not recommend 64-bit XP  and especially Vista as they are fairly buggy in regards to hardware and games, neglecting the benefits of the RAM increase.
