LeddBate Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 I'm not sure what you meant by "i7 4ª". I presume this is an Intel i7 chip you are referring to. I would recommend the i7-4790K @4GHz, if it is within your price range. A gtx960 with 4GB of vram is plenty strong enough to run Skyrim, even with hi-res textures. Don't let anyone talk you into a card with less than 4GB of memory. The upcoming Special Edition of Skyrim will let you run much higher resolution textures, so that 4GB will be very useful. I've never used SLI, so I don't know if doing so with the 9800 is actually any benefit -or even possible. Maybe someone more knowledgeable on SLI could chime in on this. A quick check of the mobo indicates that it only has one pci-e slot for a video card, so I don't see how you can SLI. Unless you were asking which card to use, in which case I recommend the 960. 16GB of RAM is plenty. Your chosen mobo means you will be using DDR3. Nothing wrong with that, just be aware that DDR3 is gradually being replaced by DDR4. So expect prices to begin rising before long. A hard drive is where you may have issues. Loading time issues to be exact. As prices continue to fall on Solid State Drives (SSDs) you should really consider getting one as it is a world of difference on how your games load levels and how your PC responds in general. I recommend a samsung 850 evo 1TB. This will give you plenty of room for all your programs and games. However, if that's too pricey, try to get a 850 evo 500GB for about half the price. This will still give you plenty of room for your operating system and programs, but you will have to limit the number of games you have installed on the SSD at any one time. In either case, a large storage HD (like the 2TB one you mentioned) is a good idea as a 2nd "bulk" storage drive for all your non-program files (videos, music, photos, etc.) The B85 is a decent, budget mobo. Here's a review of it that has important info, -especially when installing the RAM. tl/dr: Yes, looks good except for not having a SSD. If you can put up with the long load-times from a HD, then you have a good potential system. Only other drawback I can see is that the mobo doesn't have room for SLI.

Novem99 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 The upcoming Special Edition of Skyrim will let you run much higher resolution textures What? LOL! anyway will an Galax gtx960 4gb Exoc White + Geforce 9800 + i7 4ª + 16gb RAM + HD2Tb + Intel B85 Lga1150 Asus, will it be good enough? If money is an issue I heavily recommend an i5 like the i5 4690. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the OP....short answer is YES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeddBate Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 (edited) I am sure he means it wont have the memory limitations the current skyrim has. Will still be limited by VRAM tho. Yes, that. Sorry for confusion. I just like having a minimum of 4GB of vram. Thanks, the "i7 "4ª" just mean fourth generation, sorry about that it's from my mother language. about SSD, i will try, but for some reason this thing is way more expansive than an HD and that's is why i tried going with an HD of 2 terabytes. Actually, the loading times aren't that bad. It is just that once you try an SSD, you will never want to go back to using HDs. Novem99's suggestion about the i5-4690 is good. It will save you about 30 to 35% (at least here in the states) and even though I don't believe you can overclock it (it's not a "k" model in it's basic form,) 3.5GHz is decent enough.
