I'm planning to buy new desktop with i3.

Will i3-4170 bottle neck GTX 750 Ti?

My only games are League of Legends and CS:GO, is it enough for my games?
and also run in 1080p?

[Will buy this PC]
i3-4170
Asus H97M-E
RAM Corsair Vengeance Pro (Dual) 2X4gb 1600 CL9
Seasonic (600BT) ECO series, 600watts 80% Efficiency Bronze
nVidia: Zotac GTX 750 Ti 2gb
 
Solution
Not a chance. You have two very fast and powerful cores and hyperthreading. On two threads that CPU outperforms almost all other locked Haswells, including i7s.

If your going to choose between the two then the i5 is going to be better for more modern games but having said that, the i3 with the 750 ti is also going to easily play your 2 games and more. I guess it boils down to how much you want to spend.
