So I was planning to build a budget pc.

This is what I am planning to buy.
I will play my games at 1600x900.

Pentium g2030 3.0 Ghz
Radeon HD 7850 2GB GDDR5

Other components are good and i am sure they are compatible.

Now I plan to play these games:
Mass Effect Trilogy
Dead Space Trilogy
Bioshock Trilogy
Crysis Trilogy
Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I am not sure about the processor if it will bottleneck the 7850.

And also can I play all these games maxed out except for Crysis 3 and Bioshock Infinite?
What I mean maxed out is all the anti-aliasing cranked up to the highest possible. I don't mind lowering some of the settings or AA in order for me to play at 40 fps with these games.

I will use this solely for these games as i have a laptop for web browsing and stuff.

So do you think I can do that with this build?

My other option is i3-3220 + r7 260 (non X) or r7 250x(HD 7770) but as much as possible i want to get that 7850.

More about : opinion guys

Since you game at 1600*900 there won't be major bottlenecks in any of the games with your Dual Core processor the only exception for dual cores until now is Crysis 3. So even if you wish to upgrade go for a 3rd Gen Core i5 (cause 4th gen wont be supported by your motherboard) instead of Core i3 which too is a dual core like your Pentium but it hyper-threaded.

The improvements due to hyper threading are nowhere near having actual physical 4 core processor so investing in i3 is nowhere a good option.

And after seeing that Ultra settings/AA I guess you will surely need a upgrade for that on CPU behalf.

So will this do for now + 7850? and then upgrade down the line.

yep current processor will do good for now at this mentioned resolution,,, and when more games from PS4 and Xbox One start coming up to PC you will surely need a CPU upgrade (Both console have a GPU equivalent to Radeon R7790).
