I am currently on a 500$ budget and need some serious help! This could possibly sway 10-20 bucks higher , but not more than that. I need a disk drive and a video card that can run Skyrim on high with shadows off. I had a build picked out, but it just isn't fitting into the budget right now. I have the operating system, mouse, and monitor. I would also like it to record and play skyrim on at least medium with no lag at all. http://pcpartpicker.com/user/russell4242/saved/39bi this is what I have picked out so far, and is over budget. So if anyone helping could get it as close to these specs as possible with 500$ that would be amazing. I would also like it to be mid tower and 8 GB of ram still if possible. Thanks for anyone that can help with this. Going to get the parts on the 23 of dec.

Very difficult to squeeze out a solid build with that restrictive budget. I would recommend this HDD:

Saves a couple bux

And maybe go with 4GB of RAM now and add another stick of 4GB when you have more $$$
Just a suggestion.
