Unless you're playing Far Cry 4 or Dragon Age, an i3 shall do fine. Though if you're playing anything like Battlefield, the i5 could be nice too.

If you want a more upgrade-worthy motherboard, you could get an H97, and if you want bump the CPU to an i5 4690.
For G Mod and CS:GO, an i3 is more than enough, though this is only $30 extra.
