My PC Specs:
Processor: AMD A8-6600K 4.2 Turbo = Overcloked to 4.9 GHz @1.55v UPDATE: (Not stable) so i downcloked to 4.7 @1.5v
Motherboard: GA-F2A55M-DS2
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 4GB 1600Mhz = overcloked to 1866Mhz
Graphics Card: Sapphire HD7770 OC.

I am wondering if it will be better or not to change to this specs.

Processor: AMD Athlon II X3 440 3Ghz and will unlock it to make AMD Phenom II X4 B40 3Ghz and will overcloked to the highest possible.
Motherboard: GA-M68MT-S2
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 4GB PC1600
Graphics Card: Sapphire HD7770 OC.

Admirable
You will "unlock" it? Do you even understand what is it that you're doing there? Your whole build is a disaster, completely unbalanced, throw that paper away and go back to the drawing board before you embarrass yourself even more. :)

1) You don't have enough memory and its waaaay too slow!
2) How do you know that AMD has locked a functional core on the X3? What if they botched up a single Phenom 2 during manufacturing and locked it down, reselled it as Athlon II? If you unlock that, it will be a disaster!
3) Your graphics card choice is ridiculous for this CPU. Buy the DDR3 edition of the 6670 and use dual graphics, you'll end up with more suitable result that won't bottleneck and you'll actually save some money.

EDIT: saw the picture. lucky boy... but that doesn't excuse what you're trying to do!
