My current cpu is Intel Celeron G1610 and my current gpu is GT 630 ddr3.

I plan on getting a HD 7790 and getting intel core i3 3210 to run next gen games.

Would it run it?

The turm simply means heavy resource use. You don't have the hardware for it. You will be fine with that setup.
"Next Gen" games use 4+ CPU cores so fx 4300 or fx 6300 is in ur best interest. I would beef up ur GPU too. 7870 GZ edition is about $150 now.

Ahh, i thought so. i've considered getting FX 4300/6300. but it's just gonna cost me more for buying a new motherboard. HD 7790 is the highest i can go. :) i don't even have a job. XD im just a high school student here in the philippines. :)

No. You don't need to buy an AMD CPU with 7790.
7790 will reach 100% use while the I3 or fx4300 will be around 80% or less. So you will be fine with any CPU.

Now if you are going to upgrade and get a 2nd 7790 to crossfire, then I would get FX processor (fx 6300 would be my choice) so even if you get a very good GPU, you can overclock any FX CPU.

Next Gen games are going to be good at parallel computing. That's why Xbox one and ps4 have 8 core processors.
