Hi guys can anyone help me? :) 

The thing is.. in 2 days im going to buy a CPU with this processor
ARK | Intel® Core™ i3-4160 Processor (3M Cache, 3.60 GHz) it has HD 4400 Graphics integrated.

But the question is, is that processor good enough for gaming? (also will have 4gb of ram)

Thanks in advance ^_^

Yes, with a dedicated graphics card, you can play on high-ultra with decent FPS in most titles.

Unless you're looking to play 64 player multiplayers on BF4 on ultra specs, you're all good.

Upto R9 280 or GTX 760 is fine, up from that and CPU would bottleneck the GPU.

Will do fine for high-ultra (with R9 280 or GTX 760) and no-low AA, which's kind of great. With an i3 ofc.

Games are not solely dependent on the cpu...

You will need a graphics card, like a gtx 750ti along with your i3 Intel cpu.

To have a good gaming experience for the games you like.

Also a power supply, that supports the gpu

I wont be able to buy the graphics card for now, i will need to wait like 2 or 3 months.. i hope the HD 4400 at least let me play in low

Not sure if it'll be a good experience, but HD graphics are quite fine for old titles, but nothing after '08 to be honest. But yes you'd not have any technical issues.

$120 Intel Core i3-4160 or $130 Pentium G3258/GTX 650 ? Your choice. Pentium G3258/GTX 650 will be great for MMORPG (Tera,Archegage, League of legends) and many games more.

MMOs and most of those games should be fine on an i3. Crysis 3 might be held back a little because it is so well threaded, but it won't be too bad.
