Get 2x4GB of ram instead of 1x8GB so that you can run in dual channel.A 660 is not going to run skyrim on ultra graphics though, I'm sorry. That CPU also might struggle a bit. What's your overall budget?
Thank you for the advice i have made the recommended changes to my build. To answer your question my budget would be under 1000 dollars however this would be preferable that it included a monitor.
Thank you again for the advice.

That's a very bad build, and it's wasting a lot of money... it's spending money for a z87 board so that you can overclock, and a CPU cooler... but then uses a LOCKED processor meaning that money is wasted. It also have a PSU that's much more powerful than you need.
Let me know if you're interested in overclocking or not, and I'll give you either a more powerful computer that can overclock, or a less expensive one that doesn't.

Those are two questions with pretty lengthy responses - you should really start your own thread instead of taking someone else's. It'll get you more thorough answers.
