@OP, what problems are you facing? Are your GPU drivers up to date? Have you got the latest Catalyst drivers? Gaming is more centered on GPU than CPU, with the exception for a few games. And the HD6850 is one of the most VFM GPU's in recent times...

For the games mentioned the Config is not a problem. I don't think you will get anything worth the upgrade cost if you switch to Intel.

Whats the Issue?

What resolution you are playing? Upto Mid-High Level Eye Candy you can play those games at HD Resolution.

I think you are having some issues with your GPU else how could you not play games and that too with HD 6850. With this card you can play all latest games at full HD.

Nothing to do with overclocking, your card is capable enough to handle games at stock speed. Whenever you're getting the error, try to go back to the desktop using Alt + Tab key and check if you're getting a message like ATI Display driver has stopped working and has been recovered type of message.
