Intel HD Graphics can't do anything more than TF2 on low without being frustrating. I know, I had a laptop and then a potato of an HP desktop that I had replaced. Your CPU meets recommended specification, and your RAM well exceeds it. I have not bought Skyrim on my PC yet, so I have not tested myself, but if your package supports a video card and you want something immediately on the cheap that should work, I have an XFX AMD Radeon HD 5450 2GB ( http://www.amazon.com/XFX-Radeon-PCI-Express-Video-ON-XFX1-DLX2/dp/B008N1DU8W/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1377234619&sr=8-5&keywords=radeon+hd+5450 ) However you might want to decide to wait and buy something better, since there are cards available that aren't too much more but outperform this video card. I'm not sure how finicky mobos are with video cards and all that jazz since I haven't built a computer yet but here's a good resource to have: http://www.logicalincrements.com/ tl;dr: Your intergrated GPU sux and you should have it replaced.
