Soo many amidianborn mods in my modlist. Guess this one won't be an exception. Great work =)

Had the same thought process as kryptopyr: "This is just vanilla with bigger boobs." Assuming this was meant for core: In my opinion mods like this have nothing to do with core step. Core step should only consist of basic mods EVERY other pack/module agrees on. Even the lore-unfriendlier ones.

I like torminaters idea of this being in a hardcore pack as an optional choice =)

From yesterdays discussion I know we are likely to disagree with each other; I am giving you my 2 cents anyway :P In short: Get a cheaper cpu, in favor of a better gpu. If you intend to build a gaming rig, your cpu should never be more or as expensive as your gpu, since cpu calculations aren't that big of a deal in games anymore. Of course that doesn't mean that you should go buying your cpu at a garage sale. Id consider buying a card from amd (e.g. AMD A10-6800K) instead, which can be nearly as good (>in games!<) for alot less money. Spend the extra 100$ in your gpu and i promise that gaming will be alot more fun ;) edit: don't forget to get a cpu cooler.. stock cooling is just.. meh ;S

Of course Haswell is slightly faster than previous architectures (~5-10%) but is this minor improvement really worth spending 200-300Eur on? Directly from the conclusion of your test (p19): "So, for the second time in a week, we’re disappointed. Haswell has a lot to offer, just not to desktop enthusiasts. Intel’s attention is fully in the mobile space, and we can tell." edit: +skyrim is unlikely to be capped by his current cpu anyway.

GPU: GTX 780 is definitely a good choice atm. Also keep in mind that a heavy modded skyrim benefits from a decent amount of vram the most. CPU: Honestly last year was a pretty bad year for gaming cards. The current Haswell generation is in my opinion not worth the buy for desktop gaming. 2014 looks more promising for both Intel and Amd so far. I would wait. If it has to be now, I'd recommend buying nothing with over 4 cores, as most games dont support the extra cores anyway. My recommendation for the 1150 socket is the i5-4670K and for the 2011 socket Core i7-4820K, which both can (and should) be oc'ed. MOBO: The difference between pci 3 and 2 is quite subtle (~4 or 5% improvement). True it will have a slightly bigger impact on skyrim specifically, since skyrim only uses direct-x 9, but still i don't know if that alone warrants a buy if you don't intend to crossfire.
