Hi ngag!

 

Modding isn't hard at all, but you need some patience. I have quite much experience with Oblivion, and I think Skyrim must be almost the same. 

 

I don't know if your first language is english. I can help you better if you speak spanish, but my english is not that good. However, I'll try to tell you the basics.

 

Let see, a mod is an integration of archives that add something to the game using an esp/esm to active them. They are usually put into your Skyrim/Data folder, and then activated through a mod manager or the option "data files" of the Skyrim launcher. After that, there is the load order. That's quite important, but it's a bit more advanced. You should know the basics first.

 

I think you should look for a noob-friendly guide which can teach you the basics. But I'm afraid experience only comes after lots of hours tweaking your game. As I said, it's not hard, but you need trial and error.

 

I think this guide will help you a lot. http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/1078019-how-to-install-skyrim-mods-a-beginners-guide/

 

Please, dear moderators, if I can't post links to TESNexus, delete it.  :blush:

 

Well, good luck, ngag! Keep modding and you'll enter a new world with endless possibilities! 

 

PS: About your pc specs, I think it would be able to handle lots of mods without problem.
