Spend a day or two on youtube looking at PC build tutorials. If you still don't think you can do it then buy a prebuilt pc.

So if i change it to 8 gb could that run some intensive games like call of duty battlefield 3 and starcraft?

And what should i spend the extra money on a cpu or gpu which would be best?

Yes, 8 GBs is more than enough. And get a better GPU.

Alright i lowered the ram to 8gb and upgrade the graphics card to AMD/ATI Radeon HD 7870 2GB however my cpu is still Intel Core i3 3220 3.3Ghz =/

Will my cpu effect my computer performance or will not effect it at all?
