I am planning to build my first PC for gaming and was wondering how well this set up would work, I am trying to limit myself under $600. I will probably be sticking to games like Fallout 3, new Vegas, Skyrim, Civ V, and GTA V and Civ beyond earth when they come out. I probably won't be playing anything too intensive like battlefield or anything but I would still like the PC to be able to if I change my mind. I would also like to know if graphics mods for fallout or skyrim, increase the demand on the graphics card (I'm assuming it does) and would this build be able to support most of them. This would be my first PC build and I am very excited to get started, any advice would be greatly appreciated thanks!
