This really depends on the game, but most things will want more threads than 4... so yes, the GPU will not perform as well as if it was paired with a more powerful CPU. But, there is also nothing wrong with that. 
 

See how it handles the games you want to play, and then you can worry about how the PC performs overall. If you can find a used i7 4770 or really any i7 from that generation to replace the i3 with, that would be a very good upgrade option for you for potentially not much money.

how much im gonna feel the bottleneck

in games where they do not benefit/ scale to more cores, then it could fine. 

but this is a 2c/4t chip and does not have the best ipc, it will struggle in a lot of things, depends on the game really and how cpu demanding it is.

Depends on game; dual cores will have it really rough in some titles.
