Hi Guys,
I am building a computer and was wondering what do you think of this, for skyrim on ultra for serious graphic and lighting mods:

CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor
Motherboard: ASRock Z77 Pro3
Memory: G.Skill Value Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1333 Memory
Storage: SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 ST1000DM005/HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM
Video Card: SAPPHIRE 100355-1GOCL Radeon HD 7850
Case: NZXT LEXA S (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: Apevia CB700W 80% Efficiency
Optical Drive: Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer

I read that this makes for a good gaming computer, but what do you think?

That should be quite good with Skyrim on ultra graphics. I have mine on ultra graphics all the time, and I have a 3.5GHz Intel Core I5 Quad Core CPU, like you, 8GB of ram, and I've only got a NVIDIA GeForce GT 530 (4GB Total graphics memory). Although it might be a bit laggy at times, I turn my far distance detail to medium as it can lag in certain places if I put it on high.

My PC runs quite well on the highest settings on most games, I haven't tried a decent graphic or lighting mod with Skyrim however I think I've tried a lighting mod with another mod and it went perfect, but make sure you're getting a decent graphics card if you're focused on better graphics and lighting.
