    Personally I would go for ATI 6xxx series, its cheaper and well more widely available.

    1GB should be enough for 23" monitor you are getting.

    I have TX650, brilliant power supplies, stable.

    Elder scrolls is CPU dependent, overclocked your CPU for some headroom, but will hold up fine.

    ASUS motherboards are good, also check out Gigabyte, they do very good motherboards at very decent prices.
