I am going to build:
i5 3570K
Asrock Z77 Extreme4
1x 4GB Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1333 - I will eventually add 1 more stick(4GB) for dual channel
Samsung 120GB EVO
260GTX evga
PSU Salvage old 700w Corsair PSU

How is this system? I want to play BF3, ARMA 2, DAY-Z and Skyrim on medium-low setting. So will my GFX cut it and what should I get to replace it? Will I still be able to play these games with the 260GTX for now? I am upgrading from a core2duo 8400. Which cheaper GFX card do you recommend? 600 series ? Will I see huge performance with 600 series? $100-200. What else do you think I can do? Better memory? Also what are the good overclocking guides for i5 3570k and my mobo?

 
Solution
That GPU will be a MASSIVE bottleneck. In your budget I would suggest the GTX 650ti BOOST, that will be a MASSIVE upgrade.
