I am building a modest gaming computer for the first time so just need a graphics card. So far I have a core i3 3220 3.3GHz 4GB ram 600 watt psu. I am thinking of getting the nvidia gtx 560. My question is will I be able to run this game maxed out with maybe a texture mod with this build? Thanks.

I've got a GTX 560 ti, i5, and 8 gig of ram and I laugh at this games requirements. You'll be good to go, but if you're still worried, go to Nvidia's site, they'll break down to you what you can and can't do.

You can use the texture mod and official high res pack easily, but I would avoid high power ENBs

i7 is kind of overkill for gaming since an i5 will do comparable for gaming but I have one too. Last I started playing Skyrim wasn't optimized for quad cores though so you won't notice a huge difference between a quad and a dual core? If anyone can confirm or deny that would be cool

i7 is just futureproofing yourself somewhat. It's overkill of almost all games out right now.

Yes.

I can get ultra out of a phenom II 965 and HD 5850. Normally around 60 FPS, with dips down to 40. Your system should be a little stronger.
