I would like to know a good 800-900$ gaming build (Preferably Intel/Nvidia) for Skyrim on Ultra settings and with 180-200 different mods (most of them are gameplay mods only 9-10 of them are graphical mods)
Thanks.

My only suggestion for a change would be to swap that GTX 760 for an R9 280. I'd get a 760 for almost any other game, but modded Skyrim in particular benefits much more from the raw bandwidth and extra VRAM of AMD cards. It's a relatively primitive engine... Brute force is required, but the finesse offered by an Nvidia card is not. It doesn't use PhysX, doesn't use DX11, doesn't make much use of floating point performance, and its VRAM handling is literally actually broken. I mean seriously, it actually doesn't work like it's supposed to; stuff doesn't unload properly. That 3GB of VRAM can actually be beneficial in that situation.
