So how did you make those numbers up? Completely dependent on game there is no way you can say something will be 20% slower with literally no source based off of cache.
Here is the pentium G3258 vs the 4770K with and without overclocking. Notice how it makes no difference.
It depends on the game. In some (or even most) games it makes no difference. But in Hitman the performance of the G3258 tanks, at least according to the benchmarks in the linked article.

do people read previous post in a thread before posting? specially when the thread has only 2 pages (tho you do add another + to the "current CPU is enough" ... even if i suspect the GPU would also be enough, for what the OP ask )
also i did mention CPU upgrade help with minimal fps, more specifically going from 2 to 4 core in that review it seems ... tho i doubt the impact would be the same versus a HT enabled i3 or a i5 (same gen)
I am really disappointed in everybody. Most of you said that the GeForce GTX 950 Ti is not good for gaming, but most have missed the fact that THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A GTX 950 Ti. Maybe a GTX 950.
Regardless I do agree that the i3 is a pretty capable little cpu. You should change your gpu to a model that your power supply can handle.
Ha ha- yeah just saw that - of course I was thinking of the lowly 950 and an article I read about Nvidia releasing a 950 Ti - I think on Kitguru.
Too much coffee. Too little sleep.
GO look at the second hand market, you can get like a i7 2600K and mobo for like $200, no need to spend mega $$$ on new shit when old shit will do just as good.

while i "kind" of made them up from past experience.
so , not wanting to be a "Troll" ...
i went through the effort of using the GTAV benchmark to compare a 4790K (4589Mhz, 2400ddr3) 4Cores,HTon vs 2Cores,HTon ( not an exact comparsion because, I have SLI gtx980's meaning 8X pcie, and with the i3-6300 it would be OC to 4560, and ddr4 3040ddr4, pcie 16x...)
in any case, the numbers are from the log file GTAV benchmark, all veryhigh, EXCEPT shadows high, and all advanced graphics props on, and distance detail full (these settings also allow 4k60p gtx980SLI)
TL;DR ... roughly 20% reduction in fps using a 2c/4t core 4790k, vs a 4c/8t core 4790k... using a gtx980. at 1080p on acer xb270hu.
2 cores HTon... 4790K 4589Mhz (2 cores turned off in BIOS)

sorry for "repost" but... seems i can not edit my #36 post... i did a re-test using a i3-6300 4560Mhz, 3040ddr4 16161636, 2t... on a Msi z170 mortar.
Interesting, the overclocked i3-6300, on 16x pcie3 is faster than "half" a 4790k. on 8xpcie, but we all know that 8x vs 16x pcie does not make a difference... right?)
(i used the same ssd on the 6300 system,as the 4790 system, to make it easier for me to test.)
2cores HTon... i3-6300 4560ddr4 3040ddr4. on a asus vg278 non-gsync monitor

continued from #36...
extra, extra, this just in....
so I removed the gtx980, so i could try 16x pcie on the 4790k...
so what can i conclude about the i3-6300 overclocked to the "same" clock rate of a 4 core 4790k (noHT)?... the 4790k gets twice the minimum FPS on pass0 /test 0, but close or about 10 percent faster average FPS than a i3-6300.
4 cores NO HT... 4790K 4589Mhz ... (normal with HT on) on a acer xb270hu Gsync at 1080p
