Does Skyrim require a strong PC?

Skyrim as a vanilla experience isn't the most demanding game. All you need is an Intel Core i3 or AMD Ryzen CPU, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 or ATI Radeon 4890 GPU, and 4GB RAM.

Does RAM matter for Skyrim?

Most of the time 8gb is enough for gaming, including a heavily modded Skyrim game.

For vanilla Skyrim, I'd say it's more on the CPU intensive side, but in your case for mods, I think you're better off upgrading your GPU. Your CPU is still more than sufficient, but you might run into some GPU bottlenecks with visual overhauls.
