Like it says above i have a computer, that can run skyrim on 1280x720 with 59 fps but thats without hd textures mods im talking like now even 2k can't work with hd texture mods and with enb it becomes bad i only get 13 fps.

I'm looking for the most maxed out gaming computer for skyrim something that can run 7k textures and enb with more fps then 60 and a higher resoultion then 1920x1080 is that possible? i have the money just not sure what to get and btw can skyrim run more then 1 Graphics card?

If your going to spend 12k on a gaming computer and get three Titans for three way SLI then you want to get a i7-4960x so your not running two of thoseTitans on x4 Pci-e bandwith. The i7-4770k while a great CPU only has 16 lanes of Pci-e bandwith to share between those three Pci-e slots holding those Titans. With an Ivy Bridge-E processor you get 40 lanes of Pci-e bandwith to share between those three Pci-e slots.

Yeah I agree, not knowing what the current specs are can greatly affect what hardware we are able to recommend, or if you current system could just use an upgrade of the GPU or something similar. Plus it could be something as simple as updating your drivers to the current versions.

You call a $12K rig a good deal? Who has that kind of money to spend on a gaming rig? And it comes with tons of crap you don't need.

Even this is overkill for what you need, but three Titans is a waste.
