whats your resolution on your monitor? if your not above 1920x1080 2gb vram will be plenty. you should average 45fps with that card everything maxed

Why not buy the AM3+ chipset instead? They are faster than the FM2.....Get the AMD FX-8350....It will serve you better for gaming especially for Skyrim which is supposedly CPU oriented game.....
