If the PSU is the XFX Core Edition 550 watt, that's a fine PSU.

What's the price you have found for the GTX 770 2GB ???

Not a good price at all. !!! Figured it out, therefore i was asking. lol
See what you can get, with almost the same !!!

There is no doubt, that's your card. 
My opinion, choose one with The Witcher 3 game for free. !!!

If i were you i would seriously think about getting in intel i7 it might not make to much difference to skyrim over an i5 but it will definitely be needed for playing and modding next gen games in my opinion. I have an i7 extreme and just over 235 mods and no performance issues at all.

That would be a very BAD idea. 
Those processors are too expensive, and only worth, if you have in mind to do some serious rendering stuff !!! (Even then a normal i7 would do the trick just fine)
See what you get if you compare an very expensive i7-3970X with an i7- 3770K.

Even if those games are pretty old, nothing has changed until now, that justifies the purchase of an Intel Extreme CPU.

Also i want to notice, on high resolutions (1920x1080 and above) it doesn't matter if you have an 8, 6 or 4 core processor.

The reason for this is, that the CPU isn't the bottleneck of a system, when you are playing games at high resolutions. In this case it's the GPU, which has to work overtime.
On lower resolutions the affect of the CPU becomes visible, since the GPU isn't the limiting factor anymore. !!!
Lastly, as Skyrim is not a native multi core CPU game, more speed would be more beneficial as more cores.

I am sure you don't have an GTX 570 in your system running side by side with your Extreme Intel Processor, have you ???
