Hi there, I'm looking to build a cheap pc for playing games like skyrim with 6-10 mods high settings or ultra and gta 5 high or ultra settings with both games at around 40-60 fps. I want to build it for sure with an AMD CPU just i don't know what model yet but if you could post some ideas on cheap builds ($500-$800 preferably as cheap as can be with my requirements). Any help is greatly appreciated!!!! Thanks!!

Since you want a AMD CPU this is the build I would go with. Note* you will want to overclock this system to get performance close to a i5. Also this build will run GTA V but you won't reach Ultra settings, at least not at 1080P but probably more around medium settings to keep FPS around 60. Skyrim will be easy to run modded @Ultra 60FPS.

It's 4 I think...but I've used the same brand and series in the past on high gaming setups and we're fine as long as it's more wattage then what the system needs...my friend still uses his and it's been going strong for years but thanks for your help!
