Could this run skyrim with a good number of mods?

Skyrim is the main game i wana play was wondering if this cpu and gpu combo could run it smoothly

Yes, that is a nice setup you have there. With the added bonus of overclocking potential of your CPU and GPU you should definitely be good for skyrim at 1080p.

Thanks, i dont realy plan to oc much but everyone kept suggesting it so much i figured id get the 3570k i was looking at the 3470 at first and spendinf the money i saved on a lower cpu/ mobo and no heatsink on a better gpu instead like the 7870 but i lowered the gpu to a 7850 to get the 3570k

not bad but could do better with the gpu. some of its visual mods are gpu intensive after all.

kinda at my limit money wise wish i could get a better gpu but without sacrificing some of the cpu thats not possible

The rule for a well balanced gaming computer is to spend twice as much on the graphics card as on the CPU.

Skyrim is one of the few games that is very CPU bound. It still needs a good graphics card though especially with the high res mods. Anyway you can get the system and use onboard graphics for a month or two and save some more money for a HD 7950/7970 or GTX 760/770?

the 7870xt is just 5~10 bucks more and performs on almost the same league as the 7950 even the 670. i'd stick with intel's i5 on this one as it performs better on skyrim than the 8350. otherwise its all good.
-edit-
and don't get the "k" series if you aren't going to oc. no reason to spend more if you're not going to use the feature you are buying it for anyways.

I would stick with the first build, buy a faster graphics card as you go along.

^ I agree with this. Get a non K CPU unless you plan on overclocking. And the 7870XT is a good choice.
