i say get the i3 because it can easily run those games and it has a better upgreade path i would suggest to go with a r7 265 about same price as the 750 ti better performance than 750 ti but uses a bit more power than gtx 750ti if u dont care that much about power consmpution get the r7 265

I would say the i3 intel generally performs better in game s amd cpu's are for if you want to also do things like video editing/rendering.
