Hello, I'm looking for a build that can handle Skyrim on High. I'm looking at a budget of $600, but I could probably do at most $50 more. If you need anymore information just ask below. I have very little experience about part picking, but I know assemble a computer.

I would also like to know what other newer games these computer's could handle if you would be so kind.

This will play Skyrim on high, as well as most other modern games such as BF4, Bioshock Infinite, Crisis 3, etc. The lowest I can see you needing to drop is Medium. The 265 is pretty solid, and is the best of the R7 series cards.

Pretty much anything I would imagine, Watch Dogs might push it a little far, because they recommend a quad-core or better,. but I've heard of people running i3's with 50+ FPS with no issues, so I imagine that's a fabricated requirement.
