PC Choice

Echoing what others have said on the 560. If you want to run a heavily modded game you need a hefty amount of Vram 1GB wont be enough for the most demanding mods.

 

I can' t agree u here, if he takes GTX560ti it will run every game (at the moment) on the market in ULTRA with ease.

 

Skyrim modified will break any PC eventually. The mods push it well beyond any game on the market. That being said a 2gb 560ti would certainly be good.

Okay so after reading through all of the suggestions and changes i want to ask if anyone could give me some specs that will be more suited for the game heavily modded then?

Im running heavily modded skyrim (extreme ENB/texture/etc. mods) with 3570k @ 4,5ghz and GB HD7950 WF @ 1150mhz core/1500mhz memory.

My Skyrim drains whooping 2,5-2,9gb of vram, so the 3gb vram is definitely useful.

HD7950 has enough power for 3D-Skyrim (without ENB, as the 3D-drivers wont work with them). Maybe ill start searching for the workaround to make the ENB mods work in 3D... Hard to choose between 3D and eye-melting-graphics. EDIT: Got the 3D working with ENB injector... kinda/not! Extremely unstable (and with all the mods its already unstable enough).

 

Good 450-500W PSU is more than enough for HD7950+3570k rigs. My 750W Super Flower -Golden Green (cheap and superb german PSU) would be more than enough for 2xHD7950, even 3x shouldnt be a problem.
