[Bhupi1981]

getting very less frames in games
Crysis 3 approx 25
Far Cry 3 approx 20
Wicher approx 20
My config is
MSI 960 GTX 2GB 100 ME edition
Phenom 2 X4 920
DDR 2 RAM 800 Mhz 6GB
Windows 7
Please advise what could be the reason is the processor a bottlenec or RAM or anything else.

Could be a processor bottleneck, but it would be helpful to know at what resolution and settings you are running each of the games.

Your video card might be overheating, it couses decreased performance.
If you have one of those little things that will show the heat when you aim them at something hot.
Open your pc, and ready your heat meter as I call it.
Turn on your pc, open any of those games and point the meter at the graphics card, if it's getting hot really fast, turn off your pc and call your local expert to ''fix'' the problem.
Good luck.

you are not going to get ultra 1080p with that cpu + gpu on those games, you are not running an overclocked i5 + gtx 970

you need to get down to medium + high settings, and then tweak to get good fps

Graphics card is not heating its around 37 to 38 degrees in idle and around 64 degrees cel when playing games.
please advise.

Don't expect to max out games using 960 at 1080p. It is quite good but not enough for very demanding games like crysis 3. Anyway is your cpu overclocked or not?

Will i be able to play at ultra settings if i install i7 6700K with MSI Z170 M5 and 16 GB DDR4 RAM.
don't want to change the graphics card as just bought it less than a month ago.

Depending on games. 960 is not a high end card to begin with. Even nvidia specifically mention the card is nore for gamer on budget/casual gamer. Though it is still considered quite good for 1080p
