Entry level (cheap) Processors.

Hi Guys,
I am helping my friend do a super low budget build. We decided on the Graphics Card, a 7750 but cant decide on a processor to fit in his current budget.
I was thinking about a Pentium G645, they are super cheap plus it is lga 1155 processor. So my friend can upgrade to something better even with the same motherboard we are getting now, if he wants to. So my question is can the 645 play games well when paired with a 7750. I mean, can it play stuff like BF3, FC3, Skyrim, Dishonoured etc. ?

We are getting 8 gigs of ram for it.

I think the CPU would be okay but you aren't gonna get very high frame rates on BF3, or FC3 with that graphics card if you are playing it in 1920x1080 resolution. I think it's a good build if you buy a big enough power supply because you can always upgrade down the road.

What about at 1366 X 768 resolution, can it handle BF3?
What kind of FPS would I get on that res?

You should get around 60fps or so on that resolution and low or medium graphical settings.
