Hi I am relatively new to pc gaming and my first time building my own pc. I have an asrock a75m mobo, an a6 3670k cpu and planning on getting either a R9 280x or R9 290, and 8 gb or more of ram. So my question is will i be able to play newer games at high/ultra setting? Or some older games like skyrim with some graphics mods? I appreciate any input.

Solution
To be completely honest if your going for ultra, you would need either an AMD FX 8320 or i5 4460, combine those with the R9 390 and your set for 1080 at least for the next few years. 8GB of RAM is more than plenty for strictly gaming. You would loose about 15% of the 390's performance with the 3670K, depending on the game, online games and games with heavy processing like Civ 5 will suffer more than others.

(Didn't specify where you need to be $800-$1000 or what else you needed, so I went with $900 and assumed you needed an OS).
