I'm trying to get some munnie to upgrade my pc...

What is your budget?
[QUOTE=Npc_Hydra3;43144962]What is your budget?[/QUOTE] I'm really poor irl, you see the country I live in, right :c.
Then whats your budget?
To overclock you need a "k" suffixed processor and you need a Z77 motherboard (Z87 for Haswell).
[QUOTE=Death_God;43145549]Then whats your budget?[/QUOTE] Gawd idk.
How about you give us a link to where you are buying from and tell us how much you were going to pay for the build you listed.

The H61 chipset is also on the low budget end, so you won't have many OC options at all. The CPU also doesn't support 1866 MHz memory, 1600 is as fast as you can go. You can attempt to overclock the memory bus, but in my experience, Intel processors don't tolerate it well. As for BF3 on ultra, I really doubt it.
You'll probably get BF3 on high, I got a mix of med/high on a GTS 450. I'm pretty sure with a 660 you could go high with some ultra settings.
