Hey guys!

I am wanting to upgrade some components within this system.

The first thing would be the motherboard. I want to be able to play skyrim on ultra high graphics WITH mods. I will not change anything within the system until I have all of the parts. What are my options for changing out my MB, CPU, GPU, and RAM? anything else I should change? (of course with higher end parts, you need a better power supply) here are my specs:

OS Name Microsoft Windows 7 Professional

your better off pulling parts that can be reused. start with the case and it size. small micro cases have cooling issues and wont fit a lot of the stardard long video cards. look at mid size gaming case that runs 30-50. also the age and size of your power supply. with newer gpu want to have a 650w unit cosair or seanonic as the base. if your rig has sata hard drive and cd roms you can reuse them in the new case. on cpu/ram/mb intel is swapping over from 1150 mb haswell/brodwell to the newer skylake at the end of aug/sept of this year and in two weeks the newer amd line of gpu is dropping. min gaming rig now would be a intel 4590 non k and a h97mb and 8g of 1600 speed ram and a 970 or amd 280 or higher gpu.
