Good gaming pc

They're not crap but way too much cash is going into those processors, rather drop the spec of the processor and up the GFX a bit... If you give us a firm budget then it'll be fairly simple to source the components for you and I'm just down the road from you and will take me 30min to put it all together.

Well I would put my budget ay around R3000-R4000. But I would have to wait as I am going on holiday next week so my wallets gonna be running on empty.

Basically what I want is a PC with a 3.2Ghz dual core processor, 4gb ram, and a good motherboard so I can overclock it if need be. Decided not to change my graphics card as I saw a couple of youtube videos with people playing crysis 2 and 3 with these cards and I feel it's okay as I will never go near a game with such awesome graphics.

Though about building my own PC a while back but when I opened up a PC and saw like 7 trillion wires I just chickened out.

There are tons of YouTube vids showing you how to build a PC from scratch. Its very simple.

Let's get real... for R3000-R4000 you won't get any CPU that can overclock (from Intel that is). You can easily get a motherboard, 4 or 8GB RAM, and an i3 CPU, which is perfect for what you want. However, that GPU you have is not going to give you the beans in Crysis 2 or 3 (especially not 3). It's not a bad GPU for back in the day, but your GPU will be effective for something like Dota 2. Battlefield and Crysis is a no go, unless you have an 18" screen and play on low quality.

You don't know how to build a PC, but you can overclock? :p

Saw these videos with my GPU, are they real or just one of many youtube hoaxes?

Honestly I am looking to only play games like dota and world of tanks, not going to go into high-end gaming.

For my CPU I found this link and it seems to be exactly what I need:

WOT is GPU and CPU heavy. The i3 will be fine, but not the current GPU you use.
