would you have to over clock an amd phenom ii x4 960t to run games like skyrim, bf3, ext, ext on high -ultra setting or is it all in the video card and ram
 
It may not make a difference since your GPU is on the low-medium end. Worth a shot, though. You can do it real quick without changing voltages. I'd just be careful with a stock cooler on it.

...No offense, but that's kind of contradictory advice.

"It won't make a difference, but you can try it." Haha

My advice: Try the games first. If they don't run on the settings you want, then you can overclock. Get an aftermarket cooler to really bump up the speed.

I do realize that, but nowadays, overclocking your CPU is so damn easy, it'd be foolish not to. Not just for games, but everyday use. And I did say, it "may" not make a difference.

OP, 3.4 would be fine on the stock cooler. Just be sure to watch the temps and follow the proper procedures to overclock it.
 
I am able to run them on full settings and I'm running Phenom II x3 @3.4. It is the bottleneck in the games, but I am still getting 60FPS

actually you said it might not help but you could try and see, so your statement wasn't contradictory.
