Well for 200 bucks i would suggest an apu and not a dedicated GPU, don't expect to play games on high quality though.

My suggestion is to increase your budget.

New mobo generally means you need new ram as well. Depending on the existing PSU I'd probably look at replacing it as well.

Even a $50 mobo, $60 Pentium/entry level AMD CPU, leaves under $100 for a GPU - and I wouldn't call something with an R7 240 (or equal) a gaming PC.

Danbuscus25 :

The A6 isn't a very good CPU, and it is on a platform with no real upgrade path.

Because of your budget I think you would be better off buying a PS3 or Xbox 360. You'll get more consistent performance and you'll know that your system can handle the games. $4-500 seems like a decent minimum for a gaming machine.
