No it won't be. The lowest recommended video card (new) for low setting games is the nVidia GT 730 GDDR5. For used I like the Radeon 7750 or new if you can find one at a good price.

That is for low settings in low resolutions in new games (and some games won't be very playable even then). For a gaming card to match an i3 you'd want to go up to a low-mid card at least to get some decent results, Radeon R7-250x, nVidia 750 Ti.
