Just wanted to say, I have never built a PC before, I have no knowledge about any of the parts etc. I am a complete newbie.
I want to build a PC which will allow me to play Skyrim on ultra settings and be able to run many mods 100+. Currently when I play Skyrim it frequently crashes on lower graphical settings. I have been told by others that since I already own a computer, I can use some of the parts I currently have and use them on my new build. I am hoping to re-use some as it will save me money.
The specs of my Current PC are:
-Processor: AMD A8-6600K APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics, 3900 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)
-8GB RAM
-Graphics: AMD Radeon R7 200 Series
I'm not sure how much more I should include from my current specs, if there are anymore please tell me so I can add them on.
Parts like the power supply, will the one I have got work as it is obviously running my current PC? Also, parts such as coolers, will the ones I currently have be fine or will they also need to be upgraded as they will be having to cool down new parts which are more powerful than the ones I have now.
The budget I would like to set is 700-1000£, I would like to avoid going over £1000.
Any help or advice would be great.
Thank you!
Edit: My power supply is 500 watts, will that do? I also found out that my mother board is a gigabyte GA/F2A55M-AD2
