i'd still say that the CPU is too weak for 'hardcore' gaming, by which I mean any game, at 1080p, at high settings, at 60fps, including multiplayer. For a reasonable gaming experience, occasionally going below 60fps, medium to high settings depending on the game, at 1080p, then yes it'll do that.
Of course, as you pointed out, this is all based upon having a decent enough GPU to do the above.

OK with what you have said above, an i3 (get current gen, or the anniversary pentium) and you'll be ok. BUT you've said get an i3 or upgrade your current, getting an any other processor will require a new mobo, new ram as well, there's not much more of an upgrade to do.

yes and no, a cpu doesn't have a slot for a GPU, that's based on the motherboard. Also no because that'll be an AGP gpu which is now a 10 yr old interface which you probably won't have.
pls can u tell me that will my i3 1st gen be able to play the games listed above even on the lowest settings and in lowest resolution...what means to me the most is playing the game,i dont care abt the game to b played on highest settings.!
