It wasn't a bundle deal, it was my first build. I wanted the best gaming pc I could make with 350 bucks. I guess I should have allotted for a little more for the GPU, but I thought a gt 520 with 2gb ddr3 would be good enough. My brother, who helped me with this build had a 250 and his skyrim looks amazing. He has an I7 with 8gbs of ram though. Maybe thats why? Anyway, I overclocked the GPU and I'm getting 20 frames in wilderness and up to 40 frames in dungeons and houses and such, I think that is as good as it gets without sacrificing quality. EDIT: Oh and for the CPU question, I have a i5 661. it runs at 133 blck. And stock heatsink.
