Yeah but I have the feeling that a bottleneck may occur seeing as DDR2 and then a older Xeon and on top of that a superstrong 1060 may be a littlebit too much for the poor Xeon. I'd probably go with a 960 for $180 and maybe get a SSD seeing as it's still in the pricebracket. I find boot times and quick loading of apps/explorer sometimes more important. But hey, it's just my opinion

Actually the only bottleneck will be Xeon being a wee bit too slow to give out orders for a "high-end" card like the 1060. If you put in a 960 and instead get a SSD for $70 more (850 EVO 250GB) you can get some pretty decent specs and very fast load times.
PS: Even 5400RPM HDDs are quite fast for loading Skyrim, the only problem I have with the game is that I run out of my 4GB VRAM when 'Overmodding'
Edit:
Something that actually made me ask is why you're thinking that it'll bottleneck so hard and that it will give frame drops. I mean SURE it's a older type of Xeon. Xeon isn't made exactly for gaming but the performance a older Xeon can give is super nice. You probably will need to do some 'ghetto modding' like removing some parts on the GPU as Linus did with his GTX 980 (Damn that hurt) but other then that you have quite rig that can play most modern games without problem. I wouldn't say it's that much of a problem with speeds with RAM seeing as I'll be probably looking out more with size. (I mean I used to have 1333MHz DDR3 and it ran without problem. Get a DDR2 that can run around the same MHz rate and you're set.)

It's a Quad Core with 3.00GHz. That's actually as good as a i5 of the 4th Gen. It will surely be capable of playing the game. And just so you know, loading screens are GPU Intensive in Skyrim. Seeing as you'll have a 960 in the game, it will be absolutely no problem.
Edit: Same with Online, seeing as it's built on the same structure as Skyrim if my knowledge serves right.

As long as Xen isn't out, their CPU side is absolutely horrible. Though I have high hopes for them, seeing as they did have once a golden age (Where Intel only had 5GHz Pentium CPUs) and I'm sure they will have a golden age again some day. Maybe this year with Xen, seeing as "Making multi-core mainstream" sounds very nice and their pricing was always very attractive.
Anyway, his idea is a $20 CPU. Seeing as you can go with A LOT of options, it varies around a lot. I am sure though that for $20 you can get a used 3770 or a older Xeon with similar specs.
Well I got my AMD FX 8320 for free because I upgraded someone elses PC and they gave it to me. I got my R9 the same way. This is a 800 dollar build but the only things I spent money on were the Aqua Cooler, motherboard, psu, etc...
I did a bit of googling, by Xen are you referencing a new core architecture? As far as I know all the FX series are Vishera which is utter shit. The only other cpu cores Ive had have been a skylake i believe with the I5 6600k. Both cpus I used the Dolphin emulator which only utilizes 1 core, and I got a 20-30fps in serious cpu demanding environment with this vishera compared to skylake or haswell.
I'm going to buy a new cpu eventually.
