Depending what games you have in mind. For examples BF4 requires MINIMALLY Quad core, so a triple core wouldn't work. Secondly it depends what graphics levels your wanting to set at and what FPS you expect in return.

So taking BF4 for example with high end R7/R9 or Nvidia 7xxx cards (the next class up from that card) can do Ultra settings 4AA 4AF 1900x1080 displays around 50-60FPS IF paired with i7 Core (Ivy/Haswell) chipset. The next level is the i5 core OR most expensive AMD Gaming CPUs, which you can do HIGH level graphics, to keep around 50FPS. The next level is i3/AMD general CPUs like that first one you selected, these can play on LOW settings but poorly as the cores are too few for the demands of the games.

This is based upon EVERY testing done by every site, and every GPU testing is always on i7Core, because the AMD/i5/i3 will bottleneck at a point for high end cards trying to do 'Ultra' settings.

So could I run far cry 3 1920x1080 medium high settings with the fx 6300 instead of the x3 455? and skyrim on ultra?

Simple google of FX 6300 Far Cry 3 shows this test result with the 7970 http://www.techspot.com/review/615-far-cry-3-performanc.... So you would expect a few frames lower with a 7770. Here is with a NVidia 670 results http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-r... with the CPUs. As you can see the CPU is under the performance of i3 (typical of AMD) and only a expensive AMD CPu can get near/at i5 Core level with the same / higher end video cards in any games.
