1) I bought an i5-4440 3.1 GHz processor and a GTX 780 MSI Twin Frozer! Will my gtx 780 run at its full potential or i am going to bottleneck?

2) Is the MSI gtx 780 twin frozer a good version of the gtx 780?

3) Is there anyway i can overclock the locked i5-4440 even if i have the MSI h87-g43 gaming motherboard?

These r my specs:
1X Cooler Master N300 RC-N300-KKN2 Mid Tower ATX Dual USB3.0

Thermaltake Smart SE SPS-730M 730W PSU

Intel Core 3.1GHz i5-4440- 6M/LGA1150 Original Boxed

MSI H87-G43 GAMING (DDR3) (LGA1150)

Kingston KVR16N11/8 8GB DDR3-1600 PC3-12800

WD 1TB WD10EZEX 7200RPM SATAIII 64MB internal HDD for desktop OEM

LG GH24NS95-24X DVDRW - Dual Layer SATA

MSI GeForce Gaming N780 TF 3GD5/OC GTX 780 3GB DDR5

LG 23EA53V-P Wide 23" LED IPS Full HD Monitor

Overclocking will do more harm then good and that CPU won't bottleneck that graphics card in 95% of games. Games like crysis 3 yeah it will

No there will be no bottleneck.
Yes the MSI is a good card.
No you cannot overclock by means of the multiplier.

It would depend on the games you are running. I'm sure you could run Terraria at max settings.

If you have 8GB now, just hold onto it and see how much memory you use. I've never used more than 5 on my 16GB setup. I should have just kept 8gb.
