Performance wise, how good do you think this will do for bf3, cod, and games that fit that description do? My monitor resolution is 1980 1080 resolution. I can play medium settings if that means getting 60 fps. Or I can turn the resolution down a little and play on high medium if I somewhat crave graphics.

Yes, your fps would increase. Also, in other uses the computer will be faster. Overclocking is pretty easy to do nowadays. Take a little time to read about it and you'll be happy you did. Essentially you are getting the full potential out of your CPU and more performance for your money.

For the price, it's really hard to beat this. Don't forget to get a special cooler if you want to overclock that fx-6300. I highly suggest you buy a Cooler Master 212 Plus or Evo.

Otherwise everything is great. You'll be able to play BF3 on Ultra @1080p with 60fps. You might have to switch from 4xMSAA to 2xMSAA but otherwise it's gonna scream through all games. Nicely done!
