questionas
and if not please point me in the right direction I am wanting to upgrade to play the most recent and future pc games, I currently have the core 2 duo intell 1.86 ghz that uses LGA755 and I was thinking about upgrading to what is at the top the Intell i5 2400 quad core.
Answer
Yes, that combination can play BF3 maxed on a 1920x1080 or lower resolution monitor.
The GTX 660 (non-Ti) manages just over 50fps in BF3 on ultra settings at 1080p.

The Core i5 2400 is very good, just a little bit below the 2500/2500K. It's stil faster in games than any processor made by AMD.

But if you're getting a new socket LGA 1155 motherboard I recommend going with a Core i5 3470 or 3570/3570K.

However... the GeForce GTX 660 and Radeon HD 7870 currently sell for about $230. There's a much better value around that price, the new Radeon HD 7870 LE!!

It's a Tahiti-based card, the same GPU core as the more powerful HD 7950. And it's only $10 more than a standard HD 7870 or GTX 660!!!

I personally prefer Nvidia cards, but that kind of power (GeForce GTX 660 Ti and Radeon HD 7950 level performance) is too much to pass up at that price.

Answer
Either for gaming or the programs you want to use, you're not going to make it with either of those cards because they are too weak.
You should be looking at an ATI 6970 or NVidia GTX560ti core 448, at least.
In fact, for the use of your editing stuff, you'd be better off with a Quadro card, but they're bloody expensive ($2000 to $7000) and not fit for gaming...
The rest of your system is okay, except you'd want to go for at least 8GB of RAM for the rendering/editing stuff...
