What games? What resolution? What settings are ok for you? What is your budget?

What's your intended budget?
The CIT 500CB has 30A on the 12V rail, so it shouldn't limit you as much as the athlon II x2 does.
It might help if you told us what computer/case you have. If it's a slim tower, tiny, etc it could limit your options.

If your budget can fit it, the nvidia 950 is a good deal for $120. This one would still be moderately effective if you're planning on upgrading your CPU later.

from here

otherwise you'll probably want to look into the r7 360 @ ~$100 -$20 MIR

or in no particular order: a used 750/750 ti, 7850/70, 7950/70, r9 270/280, r7 260/260x

GTX 950, GTX 750 Ti, or GTX 750. Your CPU will be a big limitation.
