$1500 may not be enough...

Because really you've got about a $1200 budget for the computer.

But... Skyrim is an old game designed to run on Dual cores, so a quad core won't help much, but it does save money. Factoring in shipping and tax this should run skyrim at what you want:

lol 200 mods. That's a cute joke

And an i3 for a CPU limited game on a $1500 budget. wtf are you smoking James mason??? No skyrim is not limited to 2 cores

It's very reliant on single core performance though. Too many people underestimate the i3s.

If the original budget didnt factor in the additional shipping and tax however, and he has the money to pay for that $200-300 amount, than he could get an i5.

You're also forgetting that his budget was including the cost of a monitor, keyboard, mouse and OS.
