I would say a 280, 280x before the cpu starts to really bottleneck. A 960 on the nvidia side but I would go for the 280/x with 3gb vram.

You should probably use that 350$ and get a new MB+i5 before you think about better GPU.

The i3 will perform better and you can upgrade to a i5 when you have more cash and sell the i3.
