I want to be able to play Skyrim with a lot of mods at 1080p and 60fps. However, I only have a $300 budget. I'm also in the USA. So can someone configure something for me? Thanks in advance. 

Now, you know what you can expect from these barbarians. They are a race of rabid BASTARDS that will fight us tooth and nail! But they don't know what they're up against. Cyrodiil, is CIVILIZATION! Cyrodiil, is ORDER! Cyrodiil is POWER! And out here, WE. ARE. CYRODIIL.

Very difficult, probably impossible at that budget. Perhaps look at used parts or something, but probably not happening. Save some more, or something.

I am not a professional. I am not an expert. I am just a smartass. Don't try and blame me if you break something when acting upon my advice.

Yeah, $300 won't get you there.  You would need atleast $600-750 to get something decent.

That should run Stock skyrim fine at the requested res & fps, but I don't think it's going to handle "lots of mods" well

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.
