As the ttile states,
I need a CPU for under $200
And a GPU under $280
That will run games like Skyrim and The Elder Scrolls Online
On Ultra settings at 60+FPS
And also a MOBO $100 if possible
I know its a tight budget but i would like to find one if possible please
Thanks in advance!

Also is ESO GPU or CPU intensive?

High pop multiplayer games are definitely more cpu intensive.

This should get you 60+ on high... ultra's gonna need a card with more vram, at least a 1060 6gb, which is just out of budget.
You already have everything else? Monitor, power supply, storage, etc?

Thank you very much!
Just wondering, why is it that the i5 8400 is better than most Ryzen CPUs as it has less GHz?
Sorry I’m new to the PC World
I need to try and learn somehow lol
Also, I can get a good conditioned 1060 6GB, would it be worth it if it’s guarenteed as it’s a trusted dealer

The 8400 can automatically turbo up to 3.8ghz across all 6 cores, and intel chips so far have a higher IPC(instructions per clock) than the AMD ones. Though that gap has narrowed since Ryzen came out and all the security issue hogwash which doesn't even affect most people...

If the card hasn't been used for mining, go for it!
