Build in the making

[Gregrs]

Laptop just isn't cutting it. I don't need anything super powerful, just enough to handle little things like

- Recording Minecraft w/Fraps @ 60 FPS on max settings

- League of Legends (Ultra Settings)

- Skyrim (High/Ultra)

 

I don't need anything extra, just the computer.

And we need your budget.

Probably about $450 max. I can go to $500 if I absolutely have to

How well would this handle skyrim at high/max settings? My friend has the FX-6300 and 7870 and he is able to run it on high (some settings medium) with no lag at all.
