Other than the fact that you're getting a 2500K with a board that isn't really meant for OC'ing, it's ok. The 560 is what will hold you back some though. It's good enough for high-ish settings at most resolutions on most games, but it'll struggle at 1080p on Ultra in BF3, for example.

But even without overclocking, I will still be able to play battlefield 3 on high- medium settings smoothly, correct?

Yep. It'll be plenty good enough for that. It really depends on resolution too. I can max out BF3 with my own 2500K and 560 (both OC'd though), @ 1280x1024, but that's a relatively low res.
