My computer & future upgrade possibilities
I want to upgrade my computer a bit, currently i run BF3 on ultra with a screen resolution of 1366x768 with around 55-35 FPS.
This or next month i will get money, and i need to know if my mobo supports a gtx 760 or if there are any better options, then tell me

Mobo : ASrock N68-VS3 FX
Current GPU : Geforce GTX 650 1GB
AMD Phenom II X4 - will this bottleneck if i get an GTX 760?

Also, will i have enough space in my case, its not the biggest one and i think it is pretty small.

Here are some pictures.

Indeed you'll be bottlenecked to hell and back with any Phenom.

Also, get an actual PSU rather than that $20 hunk of shit.

What should i upgrade then?
It seems to me this will cost me alot more than i paid for the actual PC itself....

​An FX-6300 will bring about 2X the power for about 85 euros.

Yes but, wouldn't it help a bit if i did upgrade my GPU to like GTX 660 TI, or something?

That will assuredly help, even more so than a CPU upgrade.
​Problem being that your current CPU won't even be able to handle a 660.
