Hi, I am currently stuck at building a gaming rig.

I have the resolution of : 1024 x 768

I am currently looking at core i3 4130 or FX 6300 and a GPU of R9 280X since, GTX 770 cards won't fit my case (or atleast all gtx 770 cars here in my local store exceeds my casing's max GPU length).

but they said I don't need a good GPU, instead I need to get a good CPU to push the GPU to run at this resolution ? is this true ?
 
Solution
An i3 4130 or fx6300 shouldn't choke or bottleneck the 280x graphics card from working at 100%. So your cpu is fine.

Maybe if you had really top end graphics cards you might get problems eg 2 x gtx780. But not for just 1 280x
