Super Cheap Skyrim Build

    Hey Folks

    I'm upgrading and will shortly have a spare GTX 770 2GB hanging around, thinking I'll build a second PC based around it. This will exist primarily for my significant other to play Skyrim and watch Netflix on so I don't have to fight with her over my rig :)

    I can probably rustle up a case and PSU from somewhere...so really I'm looking to track down the cheapest motherboard that can support the 770, and get a processor that won't drag it down too much.

    What do y'all think? I'm not above taking a flyer on second hand components...

    Just a quick additional to this is to maybe upgrade to 8GB RAM for only about €10 more these days. It would be of a lot of help for modding Skyrim.

    As an aside, I've found Gamer Poets On YouTube tutorials to be extremely helpful when modding and even installing Skyrim to the best folder to mod
