So now I am going to get the Nvidia GTX 770 for $150. The AMD 6 core CPU for $100. An ASrock MOBO for $50. And a Corsair PSU for $55.

Which ASrock motherboard?

This one? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157366&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

Do you know of a better one for around the same price?

 

This is what it will be eventually. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/KscFMp

Nope, that looks like a good one.

Okay thanks! I have some pretty bad RAM that was laying around my house. Would it be a problem? I kind of want to play Skyrim with mods on anything from high to ultra. Do you think my current setup will accomplish this?

Send me a pcpartpicker link to your build and if the components aren't on there, send me a link to them.

This will be what I will use. However, I have a second monitor. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/KscFMp

That Samsung memory will work fine but you can't mix RAM sizes so either go with the 2GB sticks or 4GB sticks.

Okay thanks! I'll go with the 8GB of Samsung. So the PC should run Skyrim fine?

[nchilds98]

Well it's better than my R9 270 which I believe defaulted settings to ultra in Skyrim so yes, it will definitely run it at around 60fps I believe.

Great! Thanks dude. I'm probably going to buy this mouse with the rebates I'm going to get.

So far I've gotten the CPU, gaming keyboard, and gaming mouse. I should have the rest by Friday. I'll post a picture of the finished computer soon!

OK cool, good luck and message me if you need help.

Okay. So I finished building my cumputer and it runs great. Except for skyrim. For some reason the entire game is sped up. Such as not only the animations and cutscenes being insanely fast. But also the text from the vanilla start intro. The "Bethesda", "presents", and "Skyrim" flash up for less than a quarter of a second. This makes the game unplayable. If anyone could help that would be awesome. Considering I built this computer so I could play skyrim with mods.

[nchilds98]

Try disabling all mods and test one at a time, one of the mods is probably the issue.
