Second how will it be for playing skyrim and playing the elder scrolls online in the future. I've already bought the cpu so for the rest of the components my budget is around $700-800.

My thinking on the mobo was that it would be good for me to upgrade with in the future. Am i right or no? And could you suggest which power supply I go with?
