OK, so I am getting a new pc and the specs are as follows:
i3 2100
Radeon HD 6870
4 GB DDR3 RAM
My question is that will this run BF3 and skyrim on high/ultra? And will the cpu bottleneck it?
i5 2400@3.1 GHz
4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 RAM
AMD Radeon HD 6870 1 GB

Skyrim will run well, but you pretty much need a quad core cpu for BF3 otherwise you'll get severe framerate drops whenever a lot of stuff is happening.

Skyrim should run at 60fps on high.
30fps outdoors and 60fps indoors on ultra settings.

Edit: On the rig that you're planning on upgrading too, not your current setup.

Oh wait.....how did I miss that?

Well he doesn't state his particular gpu. Just the series (radeon HD3000 integrated). It could be a HD3000, HD3100, HD3200, or HD3300.

With your new rig, you should be able to run Skyrim on Ultra.
I'm running my game higher than Ultra and I'm getting around 100+ outside, and FPS depends on the cities. (Use a FPSLimiter to limit yourself to 60fps or else the game will mess with you)
There's a mod that gains you like 10fps in heavy populated area's, so use that to help you in cities.

As for BF3; You don't need a quadcore. The game scales very well and having more cores won't gain you much speed.
You can run it on Ultra if you wish, but I wouldn't recommend it. I run it at High and I'm generally around 60fps in 64player servers.
It definitely drops sometimes in crowded area's etc, but it's doable.

That's not what all of the benchmarks show, especially the multiplayer benchmarks. The cpu affects the minimum framerate, if you don't have a good cpu you get severe framerate drops when certain things happen. The minimum framerate is nearly doubled by having a quad core cpu. And even many quad core cpus don't handle it very well. My Q6600 at stock clocks gets around 40fps minimum in single player while a 2500K can get 60fps minimum at stock clocks. A core 2 duo @ 2.4GHz drops as low as 25fps in single player and even lower in multiplayer when lots of stuff is going on. I would expect him to have a minimum framerate of around 35 fps in single player and 25-30 fps in multiplayer with that cpu, which is certainly playable.
