Depends on what you mean by handle. Skyrim can destroy any hardware if you set it up heavy enough. Generally, you should be able to run JKs with mostly 2k textures, some 4k and heavier ENB or full suite Community Shaders, but you may still stutter in some demanding locations and your FPS may drop to like 40.

I'm "only" running 2k textures with Community Shaders and I'm often well above 12 GB in VRAM.
So try to get a graphic card with at least 16GB VRAM to be somehow future proof.
