Just went out and built a rig to run Skyrim perfectly with mods. I hand picked every part, I thought I would have a BA little computer. Maybe I'm messing up somewhere. Idk. Any advice is very welcome.

i7 4930K 3.4Hz (liquid cooled)
Asus Sabertooth X79 MB
Gigabyte GTX 770 2gb OC
16 gb 1866 DDR3 (4x4gb)
Samsung EVO 500gb SSD
850W Corsair power


I have only the High quality DLC installed and I get 6 - 20 fps out side and 25-33 inside. Why? I tried the ENBoost did nothing to performance, didn't hurt didn't help. I uninstalled that. I have and use SKSE.

Data after 5 min of game play without ENBoost...

Ram avg. 1248mb
VRAM avg 1217mb
CPU%avg 62%
GPU% avg 20%
GPU temp avg 38 c


Any suggestions as to why my fps is garbage?
oh using Playstation 24' 3D monitor

Check the motherboard BIOS, check if no of processors/cores is 1 over there, if so that is the problem, you can change it to 4, make sure that hyper threading is enabled.
 

Ok i'll try that. Also my driver and Skyrim are up to date adn vsync was off
 


Then this could be the clear problem, even after you have changed it if you have same issue try to flash BIOS and then try, else replace the processor that's all I can say :/
 


Alright I changed it to four cores and according to Task Manger I am still only running one Core. It was set to use ALL cores before I changed it. I've never flashed BIOS before what are the potential dangers?
 


There are no issues in flashing bios, you just need to follow the process correctly though
