Hi, I am planning on overclocking my x4 860k to 4.3 or 4.4 ghz. I was wondering what voltage. Also, I am going with a gtx 960 SUPERSC 4gb evga. How would the overclock x4 860k with the gtx 960 perform in Games.

AMD recommends a max of 1.5V for the vcore. Take it higher at your own risk. My 860ks never needed any vcore boost until I got above 4.0GHz. I had to raise it and the CPU-NB by .04V to get to 4.2GHz. Neither one of my 860ks were very good OC'ers. Be sure to disable turbo mode before OC'ing for best results.
The GTX 960 is about the top card it will support w/o major bottleneck... at any speed. That is what I had (Evga GTX 960 FTW) @ 1080p.

Hard for me to say, since I don't play that game. But there are several videos online that show the 860K/960 at 1080p. Yours @ 900p should be a tad better.
Example with the 860K @ 4.2GHz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zh6zQo0zmpA
