No, you're getting confused. Far Cry 4 originally would not run on a dual core chip. Now, it has been patched to run on a dual core chip with hyperthreading, so an i3 should run it fine. The OP isn't going to be playing FC4, I can tell you now. The issue with FC4 is CPU related, not bottleneck related.

The R7 260X is a budget gaming graphics card, and the G2030 is a budget gaming processor. They match up quite well.

Sorry about that. but i would disagree on the r7 as a budget i think a 6670 HD is a budget one. in an R7 you can atleast play new games in a medium to high setting. a 6670 in a low to mid setting, so in that logic..a low to mid setting video card would be a 'budget' but anyways back to topic. i still think a G2030 will still bottleneck he's system though.

Thank both of you for replying. guys at present i am using a radeon hd 5450 1gb ddr3 graphics card and i can play battlefield 4 on lowest setting (not very smooth but manageable ) but the battlefield 3 lags a lot. I have also read that battlefield 3 is a graphics hungry game. so i thought to upgrade my graphics . i have planned to play farcry 4 and the other high end games after getting an i3 .But can i play up to battlefield 4 and some 2014 games on that 260x or i have to go for the hd 7770 which is lower than the 260 both in price and performance.

The Pentium G2030 should be a good match for the R7 260X. As long as you have a 400W and up power supply (which you do), you should be fine to run it with only a very small bottleneck. You should be able to play most modern titles at medium settings, 1080p. With your current monitor you should manage high settings with ease.

With a Q8300 @ 2.63GHz and the 1GB R7 260X, I run BF3 at a solid 50FPS at low settings, but at 1080p. My CPU is considerably worse than yours, and my graphics card isn't very good with 1080p, so you should manage 720p high settings.
