You do realise that heavily modded skyrim is the most demanding game you can find for a gpu. With all that mods your r9 270 wont be able to keep up. Your cpu is fine but if you want to keep the mods you will have to upgrade your gpu. There is no upper limit on what the upgrade choice will be. Even a gtx 780 and r9 290 will present bottlenecking for what you are asking. So the real question is how much are you willing to spend?
 


No limit i simply want a beast that can handle skyrim really modded i can spend 1000,5,000,10,000 here check this out what about this http://pcpartpicker.com/p/krypgs
