I'm new to pc building.
What kind of mods can I hope to install? What kind of performance am I looking at? (Fps, resolution, etc.)

CPU- i5 6500
MOBO- H170-gaming 3
Video Card- R9 380x
DDR4 (8GB)
850 EVO - 120GB SSD

it really depends on what mods you are gonna use. you can probably install an enb and some texture upgrades. but some screanshots you see on the internet are way too beautiful to play. those screenshots are made just for cinematic purposes and not for playing. (you cant see the fps in a screenshot.) mods that add loads off items like weapons or amour will mostly just affect the loading times and disk space but since you have an ssd that wont be a problem. you could easily install an ENB, texture overhauls. the mods that add loads of vegetation can be hard to run. i guess the cpu is your bottleneck. resolution i would say at 1920x1080 would be fine but the fps depends purely on what mods you use.
