Also AMD's Mantle increases fps in both games, but in BF4 at the cost of image quality and some people complained about stuttering as well when playing in Mantle mode, that could change in the future with better drivers. If you are ready to make this sacrifice and gamble with an AMD GPU then that is an option as well. But you won't find any cards that deliver the performance per watt that the GTX 750Ti delivers, so that could mean that a PSU upgrade maybe necessary for the AMD card adding or exceeding the cost of the GTX 750Ti card, which another thing to take into account if you ever consider that as an option.

Battlefield 4 utilizes more than 4 threads. If that was a first generation i5 it wouldn't have been as much of a performance difference but the first generation i3 hyper threading doesn't scale as well as Haswell's or IB's i3s do. On the other hand Thief is highly dependent on single core performance. So it doesn't matter what GPU you will get since you will be CPU bottle-necked in both these games anyway. If you can afford it at the moment you should upgrade your mobo+CPU. If that is not an option then the GTX 750Ti will do fine, just not as well as it would do combined with a better CPU.

Given the price differences, you are better off sticking with the 750ti.
