i am building my first pc after playing on my laptop for years and I was wondering which graphic card would be better. The main game I will be playing is Skyrim with lots of texture and ENB mods. Which one would perform the best with lot of mods?

Btw my budget is 400 dollars max on a graphic card and total build to be about 1 grand but I can stretch a little. If it would help the build I am currently thinking of is:

i5 4670k 3.4 Ghz bundle with mobo and ddr3 ram 1600 http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?I...

EVGA 650 watt fully modular power supply http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

WD blue 1 TB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

cooler master haf 912 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

standard dvd burner http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

In total with graphic card, I would be hoping to spend about $1000 a little more/ little less

Get a 4GB R9 290. Beast of a card and should run skyrim on ultra @ 1080P EASILY.
You can get them for around $400 everywhere. If you can get an MSI Gaming it is definitely worth it.

Yes that's fine. Basically any trusted brand that's a non-reference R9 290 will be amazing. Hope I helped :D
