My cpu is AMD Athlon x2 240 and has newly bought a GTX 760. will this do or I still need to buy an A10 or i7 or higher CPU's?

Because when I check at CPU Boss. my amd athlon x2 240 is higher than i5

The Athlon are not bad cpu's, they can run decently when coupled with not a too demanding videocard. The GTX 760 will work fine with it, but the cpu will be a bottleneck and the gpu will not be able to perform at its fullest.
It would be up to you to decide if this is good enough, there are more than enough games out there that you are able to play at med/high settings, but any higher would be unplayable.
If you want to upgrade, and your motherboard supports the newer am3+ cpu's you could upgrade to a better cpu, an FX 6300 or 8-core.

it is good for gaming for games 2010 and down :D

and any version of core i5 would woop the ass of that x2 240, sori.

your x2 240 would heavily bottleneck that sweet gtx 760. all in all go buy a new procie and mobo and probably ram and psu too..
