In your opinion

I know there's almost virtually no way to estimate what an unreleased game will require spec wise of a computer. Though say if an elder scrolls game were to release in the next two years, do you think my odds of running it around low to medium settings on a 1600x900 monitor would be decent with these specs?

i7 965 stable 3.96ghz
EVGA Classified SLI X58 Motherboard
12GB DDR3
Nvidia EVGA GTX 580 minor stable overclock
120GB SSD
600GB HDD

I'd really like to not upgrade anything if I don't have to. Thoughts/guesses?

It's very likely yes, it will at least run, though how well you can't know until it releases. Hopefully they stop using the shitty engine they used for Skyrim and Fallout and switch to something like UE 4.

It would likely run, but I doubt very well. Both your cpu and gpu are a bit dated for today's games, who knows what kind of hardware the next elder scrolls game will require when it is released. As said above we don't even know what engine it will run on, I'm guessing it will be a new proprietary engine not something like UE4. I doubt they will use the creation engine again, it was dated when fallout 4 released, it would be totally ridiculous for them to build a new elder scrolls game on that engine.
