I wanna know that Core i3 will be good for gaming, for example: BeamNG.drive, Battlefield 4, Rust.

Also i want to ask, it will be possible to stream with i3?

I have AMD with 2 cores and 2.7 Ghz but it's really bad for games :c
 
Solution
Streaming games? In that case I recommend getting FX-8320. What is your budget and what games do you plan to stream?

If gaming is primary concern, I would get the new i3-6100.

Ok lets address why a i3 is not the best idea to stream with, You have to run the game (I have an i3 and in games like witcher two( old game ) my cpu is at about 80-85%) so streaming requires you to record the game and transcode it in a bit rate, the higher the bit rate the better the quality, the more potential view on your stream. So in conclusion you need at least good quad core to think about streaming because of how cpu heavy streaming is. So you have an option, the i5-4690k is really good but you can go to the fx-8000 series because they should be able to handle some good streaming. A good rule for streaming is can you live with half the frame rate you get now, For example if you get 90 fps in CSGO, you would have 45 when streaming ( a very noticeable difference). So choose wisely, Cheers

You may want to save more because pc parts in Poland do tend to be more expensive, I know because I visit often and my parents are from Poland, try to see if you can ship parts from the UK.
