Just purchased zotac 560 , i3 2100 , h61 mobo and 4 gb ddr3 ram . Now need a psu to power them at low budget .
I can spend max 3k for the psu . Currently considering vs 450 @ 2.2k

Yup, VS-450 will be enough. But get CX-430v2 if you can.

Use a wattmeter to get the exact power consumption. ;)
Nobody can say exactly how much you can OC with a specific PSU.

GTX 560 is much faster than HD 6850. Overclocking is not recommended AFAIK. But, its not bad to experiment and prove us that we were wrong about it. :wink:
