Don't get graphical mods for Skyrim. It'll destroy your pc.

What's your total budget for the build? A few parts are grayed out in the the build posted above as well as your own build, so they aren't included in the base price you're seeing.

Skyrim is one of the games that doesnt use a lot of cpu cores , so an intel dual core should be better than an AMD quad

I tweaked the original build to use more recent components and to include dual channel RAM . It costs another $15 but its well worth it IMO
