The CPU is only one of the elements needed, Your CPU, 2nd GPU, motherboard, and firmware all need to support passthrough.

The support is not the problem. Everything should work fine. My concern is that 4-cores are not enough.

I do GPU-passthrough with a Intel Xeon-D 1821 (4x2.4GHz + HT), and it works well for gaming in a Windows 7 VM with a NVIDIA GTX 960. I don't see much difference in performance to my dedicated Windows PC which I was using before (i5 with similar Specs as the Xeon). So I would guess there should be no real problem with your CPU (of course depending what else is running on the host while using the VM). I have 4-5 Linux Server VMs running in parallel, but they don't do much most of the time, so they don't interfere with the Windows-VM much.
