if i were to play a cpu intensive game, how much of the performance would i loose?

ahh shit, you reckon i could play games such as planetside 2 or bf4 on high possibly? i can play medium settings around 23 fps avg on planetside 2 with my gtx 630.
 
That's hard to say, BF4 isn't out yet so I don't know about the full game performance (AMD's Mantle should also be with the game) so you should be able to play it comfortablly at high (no guarantees though)

Planetside 2 is extremely CPU intensive, I don't really know how well it would run for you.

Either way bottleneck or not, any decent card would smoke the gt 630 in performance many times over.
