$500-$650 gaming pic for skyrim on high-ultra with mods

Octalsnail73 · Nov 7, 2016

Hello, I would like to know a good list of parts to build a decent gaming pic that can run skyrim and possibly fallout 4 if that's possible. I'm going to be starting from scratch and know next to nothing of computers.
Edit: sorry about the reply being posted 2 times, my brother got ahold of my iPad. I could go up to $750 if it would give me a much better experience.

Is this budget just for the PC, or does it include monitor, and peripherals?

This is a little over max budget, but for just the PC, it is about the best you are going to get, imo.

I know both are a bit over budget. You could drop to 8gb, or ditch the optical drive, to meet budget, on the first one. Second one the optical drive could go.

I could go up to $750 if you want to resist some of the parts.

skyrim is cpu bound. you will want at least a quad core. an i5-6400+gtx1050ti will outperform an i3-6100+gtx1060 in skyrim.

there are decent deals on gtx1060 6gb around, but for skyrim i wouldn't go with the 3gb version. the 4gb gtx1050ti is a great card though.
