i will be able to get my first gaming pc in a couple of months and i have a pretty good budget i can spend on it. Im gonna max out at around $1500. I did a little research and learned what i could. As i know nothing about pc parts. So what i want is a pretty decently strong pc that i really want to be able to run skyrim on high or max settings with mods such as the ones that enhance the graphics of the game and plenty others. i want it to be able to run at a good framerate at least slightly above 30. i would also like to be able to run other games at high settings but no particular ones right now.

I am buying a prebuilt pc on the cyberpower website but i am customizing the build of it

heres what i have so far:

CPU: intel core i5-4690 3.5ghz 6mb lga1150
MEMORY:8gb(2 4GB)
MOTHERBOARD:gigabyte z97-d3h atx with realtek gblan( i think thats the name of it lol)
VIDEO:nvidia geforce gtx 770 4gb GDDR5(from what i understand this one is pretty good)

so the problem im having is i know nothing about the motherboard or cpu so i just kept the original ones in. Are these good to keep or do they need to be changed. And if this is a good pc what other games can it run good so i have an idea of how good it is.
