Look,my budget is quite tight. Gaming will not be more. Can this GPU run NFS's Rivals,Run or BF3 at lower preset? Just to gain some joys,not a serious gamer. Btw,how much it's different from 250?

Sorry I didn't fully explain bottle necking. Bottle necking is not good. It means that the gpu will only work to x% of its potential, for the duel core 2.8 gh/s and a gtx 780ti, the gpu(780ti) could only work to about 60% of its potential. An i5 3570k would allow somewhere near 94% and i7/8350's is about 100%.

Lower tired gpus would not be affected as much by the processor since they can only do so much.

A 240 is a very bad card. Its considered useless unless you want to watch movies at 4k, but that is really is only use. If you need a lower end card, a 750ti is a good choice, low power consumption and pretty good benchmark results.

The r7 250 is the same. Its just no worth the price. If you are looking at AMD, then I would sugest a r7 265 (Not the 260) Its a great card that does fairly well in benchmarks.

Power Color makes good cards, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131572 (Thats their 265)

It does run at about $150 USD, but comes with 2 free AAA games

Modern gpu technology has made it so that all graphics related activity is done directly in the gpu and not in the cpu. The 8 core processor will not help if you dont have a decent gpu - someone told me that. True? :x

Mostly yes. GPUs do all the hard rendering. You wont see that much difference from an i5 3570k to i7 3770k (maybe 4fps max, in bf4 the difference is 0fps between i5 and i7) but going from a 760 to a 780 could mean 30fps+. People buy 8 core processors to "future proof there rig" once games start to use more then 2 or 4 cores, then the scaling preface between a quad and octa core possessor will be better.

BUT a gpu can only render as much as goes through the possessor, you have a duel core 2.8 gh/s possessor matched with a 780ti, then the 780ti will only work as much as the possessor can work. This is called bottle-necking.
