I think the prices have changed since I made it... It's cheaper than $500 now

Have fun :)

Don't take build advice from videos that are a year old. If you want a $500 PC go for something like this:

I had $600 and got this with a bit of a boost in the GPU and CPU. Good build right here.

Can anyone build me a PC just for skyrim ultra settings. Here are its specs.

The following represents what Bethesda's officially released specifications for Skyrim are, according to BethBlog. It is also important to note that even if a system meets these, it may still have very low performance. According to Pete Hines on Twitter: "The Min specs get you playing. The recommended specs let you play on High, not on Ultra. You'll want [a] beefier rig for that."

Recommended
Windows 7/Vista/XP PC (32 or 64 bit)
Quad-core Intel or AMD CPU processor
4GB System RAM
6GB free HDD (Hard disk drive) space
DirectX 9.0c compatible NVIDIA or AMD ATI video card with 1GB of RAM: Nvidia GeForce GTX 260 or higher; ATI Radeon HD 4890 or higher
DirectX compatible sound card
Internet access for Steam activation

Minimum System Requirements
Windows 7/Vista/XP PC (32 or 64 bit)
Processor: Intel Dual Core 2.0GHz or equivalent processor (AMD Sempron @ 2.4 GHz)

It doesn't really matter about the budget cost, I'll save up the money no matter what.

Here friend! :D
You can lower it to a cheaper point as that is a bit high for just Skyrim but it will last you for a while with newer games.

Thanks for posting a stock photo of the terrible pre-built computer you bought from Wal-Mart in two separate threads, jackass.

Some stock PCS also have stock Nvidia parts...plus... the screenshot doesnt actually tell wht part of Nvidia does it contain.maybe it could be the Mobo with a Nvidia chipset...or maybe some other hardware.
