Hey there,

I was wondering if an i3-4130 paired with a 1GB Gainward GeForce GTX750 and 8GB of ram would be sufficient for csgo, bf3 and codemasters games (F1 2014 and Grid Autosport).

Best regards,
GGeek

PS : my current budget is 500€, but i have i mind to upgrade to an i5 at a later time.

Dump your 8GB ram to 4GB and upgrade your 1GB Gainward GeForce GTX750 to GTX 750 TI, or even to R9 270x.
Having 4GB of RAM is enough for gaming. You'll need 8GB of RAM if you're playing 2-3 hard-core games all at once, or if you're playing Far Cry 3 and Battlefield 3 at the same time.

i3-4130 is a great CPU.

I have Athlon II x3 Quad Core 3.2 Ghz and BF 3 ran well and perfectly. Take note that My AMD Athlon II is inferior and has lower benchmark than i3 4130.
