If needed i can stretch the price to 800, just looking to play skyrim max with some mods.
If you could just leave a list of computer builds below for me to look into id be more than pleased, i would like to have a wireless adaptor as well as i only have a wireless connection in my household.

Uh...don't get the FX 8120. Bulldozer core. >.<.
Get the FX 8320 if at all possible. Or even an FX 6300 and good cooler to overclock it.
The ASRock 970 Extreme 3 board is a great board for the FX 6300 6 core CPU. But a 990FX board with 8+2 power phase would be better for an 8 core CPU like the 8320. It would still work on a 970 board, but won't be able to OC as high as safely due to cpu current draw.
Everything else looks OK.
