Cheapish gaming pc - 8Ball - 02-04-2013

Can anyone recommend a decent gaming pc, literally one that can run Skyrim at a decent enough level without issues. It doesn't even have to run it at max level just as long as its playable. I know half of use are probably gonna tell me to build my own but I honestly couldn't really be bothered and I wouldn't really know where to begin. Budget is probably £600 or something. Any help is much appreciated!

Building is always the best, if you can't build, ask a friend or buy a computer with gaming hardware.
Otherwise you won't get anywhere with 600, even though it's a decent amount of money imo.
My components were fairly cheap and they run skyrim pretty good on 1920x1080, because i bought parts.

Ti version is around 100eur more than the regular non-ti and it's really not that much more powerful, i'd get the non-Ti and get an SSD for it and maybe a bigger HDD
