The atom in the surface 3 is on another level compared to the atoms that most are used to in android tablets or netbooks. Those games you want to play require much weaker processors (they can be played on P4 or worse) than the Atom x7-Z8700. You'll be fine. It can run far better games than those listed.

Only problem you might face is with baldur's gate and the opengl requirement. Not sure if you already know a workaround, but this is an issue for both models.

Fwiw, I am recommending the Pro as it is more powerful but the surface 3 is cheaper and more practical if that's the most you want to do with the device. Proprietary charger also sucks if you lose it or gets damaged.
