I need some build ideas using this motherboard MSI Performance Gaming Intel Z170A LGA 1151 DDR4 USB 3.1 ATX Motherboard (Z170A Krait Gaming 3X) that can run modded Skyrim (not remastered) at medium to high settings at 1080p going for 40 fps and I prefer to use Amazon and this is the challenge I need it under $560 tax and shipping included my tax rate is 8.25%

With your budget you can't use that motherboard. You won't have money for decent RAM, an unlocked processor or a graphics card that will get you 40 FPS on high. This is what you can afford that will be a decent gaming setup.
