I did some research and asked the guys from the store what's the best card for the money i have and they said AMD Radeon R7 260X Sapphire is the best i can go, so i'm buying it tomorrow.

Can someone tell me if i can play these games, by that i mean if i can have stable 50+ fps on minimal settings.

Starcraft 2
That one new mmorpg with ships
Far cry 4
GTA V
That newest dragon age
That upcoming fps by Blizzard
Bioshock
Destiny
Shadow of mordor
Dark souls 2
Borderlands presequel

I always use that site that tells you if you can run it because i dont understand it otherwise, but i cant know because i dont have the card yet.

How much can you spend?

What country are you in?

Will you buy online?

It also depends on your CPU of course but the R7 260X should play most of those games at 1080p on low settings. Some older ones like Bioshock it might do on medium.

I could spend 150 euros and the card is 145 euros, i bought it just 1 hour ago, gonna set it up tomorrow. :)

I'm from Serbia

I bought it from a shop that also has it's webpage where i could see all the things that i can buy so i don't know if that means its online.

My CPU is AMD Athlon X2 250u which is i know bad but i'm gonna replace it too next month. I know i probably won't be able to run anything with that processor but i'm asking if it will when i do buy the new processor.

Yes, you'll see an improvement once you update your processor. Good value options you may want to consider (in order of increasing cost) are Pentium G3258+H81 motherboard or
Athlon x4 860K + A88 FM2+ mobo or
FX6300 + 970 mobo or
i3 + H97 or H81 motherboard
