So i have been wanting to play Skyrim alot this year, But my old PC keeps lagging. I have been using an AMD 7850 but its not doing the job. I have completely made a new computer especially for playing Skyrim. I have bough a Intel Core i7 4790 and currently using 8gb of Ram. Im looking at either the GTX 780ti 3gb or an GTX 780 6gb? + Is a 850 watt power supply enough to use them? Im also planning on installing it on an SSD

Get the 780 6gb, mods require a lot of memory. A decent brand 850 watt psu is capable of powering 2 gpus

I got an Cooler Master Vanguard 850 watt premium gold PSU, And would I need any more then 8GB of RAM?

Check the reviews on the psu first, but i recall the VS lineup is ok. 8gb ram is sufficient for gaming.

I have already got an SSD just for Skyrim and Minecraft to be installed on.
