Head over to Nexus bro, heaps more mods.

Don't you need something extra if you are going to add a lot of mods to Skyrim?

Yeah just use a mod manager, ModOrganizer is one of them a lot of people use and swear by.

# After messing with mods for months, I've got to say following this guide (with many of the optionals) gave me excellent results:

Even if you don't use an ENB, I suggest looking into the latest ENBHost/D3D9.dll combo along with the latest SKSE scripting mod as they contain two sets of memory issue fixes that allow for an infinitely improved (stable and faster running) modding experience.

That's perfect. my set up is:

z87 motherboard

i5 4440

8 gb ram

geforce gtx 760 2gb oc edition

how many mods can i use without having stability issues?

That no one can answer. It depends on the mods themselves.

I'm going to look into this!

Ah, like I used the nexus mod manager before. I'll go back to use it again since one of my mods is giving me errors now. The only one I dl through the NMM. The rest I have taken from Steam.

Your one stop shop

Skyre and ACE. Both can work in conjunction.

Graphics wise, probably best to just go with what like best.

Yeah Ive already tweaked (increased the two separate memory buffers that skyrim uses and it helped alot , And with NMM you can manually download the mods and add them into NMM

Hmm... Which ones, how and how did it help?

The main one really helps there is an guide it uses skse to bypass Skyrim default usage limit its helps with crashes,freezes http://enbdev.com/ctdfix.html
