I wouldn't.
In my experience, a mod like this will cause a massive performance drop at times on a system like yours causing severe stuttering.
*If you do attempt any mods like this, make a BACKUP of your Skyrim game (easy if using Steam) and write down all the mods you have running.
Then remove, or if necessary reinstall Skyrim completely if you have performance problems. So run with FRAPS at times as well to ensure a solid frame rate (I prefer 60FPS with VSYNC or a minimum of 40FPS with VSYNC OFF).
Other:
I've found most ENB mods to oversaturate the colors. They may look good in videos, but personally I have a collection of subtle mods that i find work best for me. I'll include a list below of my setup which I use with an i7-3770K and GTX680 which I find rarely drops below 60FPS so adjust as needed.

My mods:
Obviously there are tonnes of mods, but I discovered most visual ones caused visual things I didn't like or were too demanding (I found most ENB to oversaturate for example). HD mods for vegetation in particular would seem to work but at times my frame rate would drop to 20FPS or lower.
I decided that SMOOTH GAMEPLAY was the most important thing so I decided on a few subtle improvements as well as fixes.
I use the latest Nexus Mod Manager (0.52.1) and these are the ones I prefer. Ignore if you want:
ANIMATION:
a) Fores new Idles in Skyrim
b) The Dance of Death - a Killmove Mod
CLOTHING:
a) Bandolier - bags and pouches (Dragten)
COMPANIONS:
a) Inigo
ENVIRONMENTAL:
a) W.A.T.E.R.
GAMEPLAY EFFECTS AND CHANGES:
a) Achieve That (for new game)
b) Realistic Ragdolls and Force
HAIR AND FACE MODELS:
a) ApachiiSkyHair
IMMMERSION:
a) SkyFalls + Skymills
ITEMS AND OBJECTS:
a) Unique booze bottles HD
MAGIC:
a) Radiant and Unique Potions and Poisons HD
MODELS AND TEXTURES:
a) Book Covers Skyrim (desaturated)
OVERHAULS:
a) Project Reality - Climates of Tamriel
b) Realistic Lighting Overhaul
PATCHES:
a) Investigate the Boethiah Cultist glitch fix
b) Unofficial Dawnguard Patch
b) "" Dragonborn
c) "" Hearthfire
d) "" High Resolution Patch
e) "" Skyrim Patch
UNASSIGNED:
a) Female Facial Animation
USER INTERFACES:
a) SKYUI
VISUALS AND GRAPHICS:
a) Footprints
b) Static Mesh Improvement Mod (SMIM)

I doubt it. Your CPU likely won't handle it; the FX-8350 is already a weaker than an i3 in Skyrim. i5s and i7s are recommended for heavy Skyrim mods.
Your GPU is fine though. Skyrim prefers AMD cards, the R9 280X is quite powerful, and 3GB is about the max modded Skyrim can use anyway.
