Hi, im looking to build a new PC I only need a processor, VGA, ram and mobo, I wont overclock but would like to be able to play skyrim on high settings, will also be used for some cad (very little mostly hobby stuff) and some web devolopment

budget - as little as possible! ideally less than £400/£450, as I say I already have monitor, PSU, case etc...

Cheers

I used my rig for the same as you are, CAD (hobby)/Skyrim...

I went secondhand and grabbed a 2500k, Z68 Motherboard, 8GB of RAM and a GTX 570..

Have you got MM access?

Keep an eye out for bits like that coming on sale then...

2500k
Z68/z77 motherboard
GTX 570/580/660/660ti.. AMD 6950/6970/7870..

Faultless on Ultra setting with HD mod and a few other ENB's.

EDIT: also get a good cooler to overclock the 2500k.
