PSU ?????
Also, what kind of heatsink should I get? I can't seem to find any for AM3+.
Extras:



My budget it $1,200, but I don't want to spend more than I need to, but I don't want a bad PSU, lol.
Wouldn't like a 700 W PSU be fine?

450W would be more than enough with that GPU. I would recommend getting a better GPU for gaming though. You would want to look at a minimum of a GTX 560 or HD 6870 for Skyrim if you want 1080P and max details. (One of those would need 500W)

OCZ Fatal1ty 550W Modular Gaming Power Supply compatible with Intel Sandybridge Core i3 i5 i7 and AMD Phenom $69.99 less $20 rebate.
A $210 case? Get Real!
Come back when you get serious about value for money.

With the savings from those two items and the amount you were spending on a video card you can now get this one;

If you are using this computer for gaming you would be better off with a Sandy Bridge cpu and not the new Bulldozer AMD cpu which cannot perform at the same level as the Sandy Bridge or the Sandy bridge-E or the Gulftown for that matter.

Use a PSU calculator so you can include all the current drawing devices in the system.
