Budget orientated gaming build. Is there any noticeable difference between the i3 2100 and Pentium G620 when gaming using identical video cards?

Quick look at the bench charts shows 10-15 fps depending on game and resolution. Mind you that is a very quick look. Not a in depth look. IMO grab the 2100 it is clearly a better cpu for gaming and anything else.

The problem with that bench chart is that they've got a GTX 285 in the build, so most certainly there is a CPU bottleneck. I'll be using a Radeon 5770, I don't expect there to be a CPU bottleneck with i3 2100 and G620 when using a more light-weight card like this. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
