If your data is on a regular grid, (even with holes/missing data), sorted by y and x (y primary), as from the python code below, then the data can be imported directly as a raster.

import numpy as np

x = np.array([(y, x, 1.0) for x in range(5328530,5328560,10) for y in range(4390000,4390100,10)])
x[:,2] = np.random.normal(size=x.shape[0])
np.savetxt("/Users/drf/data/foo.csv",x,header="x y z",comments='')



x       y       z

This data can be read directly from Layer/Add Layer/Add Raster Layer/ Dataset tool.

If your data isn't a regular grid, and you already have the points imported as a layer, with the accurate fields, then the problem might not be with your data import, its with transforming the point data into a raster, as in Interpolation on set of points in QGIS or this QGIS tutoria. You should be able to use one of the interpolation tools Processing /(search 'interp') tools like Processing/Interpolation/IDW Interpolation, Processing/Interpolation/TIN Interpolation, Processing/SAGA/Raster Creation/Interpolate or others.
