I am looking for a good gaming pc that can run skyrim at 1080p my budget is 500$

[Kristof101]

I will be building this pc most likely, I need it to run skyrim at 1080p it has to have windows 8 and it also has to be able to run skyrim mods.

You won't get anything good for that budget, and I'd be dubious if/how many mods you can run.

I can only go up to 600$ that's like my maximum and i don't know if I can push it that far even.

CPU:FX 6300 3.5 Ghz, Motherboard: M5A78L-M AM3+, 4GB Ram 1600 MHZ, Graphics Card: Sapphire R9 270, Power supply: CX-500M 500 watts, Hard drive: 1T HDD 7200 RPM, Case: RoseWell Challenger. Would this be a good build? Now I do know some people who can get me it for cheaper which is good and I will be upgrading the ram if possible later on.

hey het 8gb ram cause now a days recomended ram 8gb

 

[TechShark]

8gb of ram is minimum. I would reccomend 16gb if you use your PC for other things than gaming.

 

[Nexures]

if its a budget pc, go for amd cpu, unless you can pay a bit more to get an intel cpu, and go for something like gtx 750.

 

[Kristof101]

Sadly I don't think I can budge on the cpu but for the 8gb Ram I will be adding that into my computer shortly after I get it.

 

[Nexures]

mate its CRUCIAL to have 8 gigs of ram. if you cant afford 8 gigs, then you HAVE to wait till you have enough. im serious. besides think about it, for every 50,100 bucks you add you will improve your new rig GREATLY.

 

[Kristof101]

I know Nexures and I will be adding another 4gb ram stick like I said.
