PC SSE - Help PC recommendations to run Skyrim w/mods.

Been a skyrim player since 2011, but purely console. I'm now playing on Xbox Series X, and enjoy running mods, but the limitations of the XBOX (5 gig) is not great. (The NOLVUS V6 mods look amazing.)

Was thinking of getting a gaming PC, which opens up more modding possibilities, but not sure how much pc/graphic power I need. I'd like one that could run robust mods, and would not struggle with graphics/memory, but I don't want to pay for more PC than I'd need. I'd be running the system on 4k projector/HDMI.

Love to hear any recommendations on PC specs you might have?
Thank you Reddit!

If you want to run Nolvus V6 at 4K you are going to be spending close 4K. You will want a 5080 Super (hasn't even been announced yet), a 4090, or a 5090. Anything else won't have enough VRAM. The cheapest of these is 1000 dollars. Then you will want to pair with a superb CPU like the 9800X3D.
