Mods to start with?

Hi everyone! I am new to the world of modding. I just played around with Oblivion for a few weeks with some mods and really enjoyed myself. I am now going to break out my Skyrim for a 2nd play through, probably with a higher difficulty this time, and was wondering what Mods are an absolutely MUST for someone like me getting into modding Skyrim. I'm interested in graphical enhances, gameplay tweaks, and maybe some new quests? I have Dawnguard installed, and will obviously get the skyrim patches first.

 

I know some graphical mods are heavy on the specs, so here is my system:

(I run the base game with no mods on max settings)

 

Intel Core i7-3770k (Unlocked, but not tweaked yet)

16GB RAM

GeForce GTX 560 1GB Video

650W Power Supply

Liquid CPU Cooler

 

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!!

Thanks for the replies so far! I realize this is a question asked quite often so I am very grateful for the responses. This gives me a great starting point. Still open to more suggestions!

 

Here you go:

Watch all 5 parts, not only do you get a recap of Skyrim modding history, but you're also provided with video footage and links to all the mods, most of which are still running.

 

Easily the easiest and most comfortable way to catch up in speed.
