Looking for an affordable gaming PC capable of holding the game elder scrolls skyrim with a fairly large amount of mods on it. Does anyone have a link to a good website or a suggestion for what to do? I can only spend a max of 500$
 
Yes I got a perfect one if you don't mind building.

You've probably already gotten your computer by now, but if not AMD fx 6300 also a viable choice for CPU around the same price as the i3.

edit: nvm, did some research, i3's got hyperthreading which makes it basically a 4 core. pretty good budget card actually.
