I have an Intel i3 Dual Core, 8GB of RAM, and a GTX 650 graphics card. I have been recently interested in PC Gaming so I was wondering what games my PC could handle at med/high graphics with at least 60 FPS? What do I need to upgrade if I can't?

My computer has 6Gb of Ram, a GTX 670 and a i7 2.67 GHz processor and I am not running always running those game at 60 FPS, in fact, you shouldn't notice a big difference between 60 FPS and 30 FPS. When you watch a movie, most of the time it has been filmed with 29.9 FPS.
For Skyrim, you wouldnt need to upgrade your computer unless you add a lot of mods, then you might need to upgrade your GPU. If you are going with a mod that adds bigger resolution textures, you might want a GPU with more memory.
For Battlefield 3, you should not need to upgrade your computer since you are over the recommended specification for the game. your GPU is one generation over the recommended one and you have two time more RAM than what you need to run the game.
If you wish to take a look at the system requirements for both game, you can follow these links:

Battlefield 3
Most information you need to get in order to know if your computer can run a game is available online with a quick Google search. If you buy your games on Steam, it will always be at the bottom of the page of the game before the reviews.
