Is that a bump? If so, why bump it if you have 3 build suggestions already?

To my knowledge, Skyrim's minimum requirements aren't too intensive. Any of the builds listed above will burn through it.

In regards to the OS, there really is nothing stopping you from geting Windows 8.1 by now. It's highly stable, and it's not "like an app" like everyone thinks it it. Just my 2 cents :p

There's no reason to still use Windows 7, everything is the exact same when you activate the setting "boot to desktop" You'll never have to see the start menu.

I would recommend saving up more money to get this build, which has a much better bang for the buck.

You should also be getting Windows 8(.1), support for 7 ends soon and
8 is faster in most tasks.

What is this computer going to be used for?
Streaming, Gaming
List what you will be doing with your computer.
Streaming, Gaming
What is your budget?
$500
Include amount and currency.
Where do you live? If in the US, do you have a nearby Microcenter?

Your country lets us know what sites you can order from. If you have a nearby Microcenter they have some great in-store only deals that you can take advantage of.
What is included in the budget?
Only the computer its self no keyboard or mouse or monitor.
Things like the tower, the OS, peripherals and monitors.
Will you be overclocking?

Overclocking will require different hardware than a non-overclocking build so we need to know this.
Will you be reusing any parts?
no
If you are reusing parts list them here.
What OS do you want?
Windows 7
Say which OS you want or say if you already have a copy of one.
Any specific case preferences?

Size, color, etc.
Any other special features that you want in the build?
