That's very difficult to say because it depends on what games your playing. Some games are more CPU intensive than others. In the case of League of Legends you'll have to google search if League of Legends is more CPU or GPU dependent. What makes this worse is there doesn't seem to be a 100% sure answer. Some people say GPU while others say CPU. You can always email Riot Games technical support and find out there. Good Luck!

Its difficult to give a recommendation because we don't really know the type of games you play. If you can list what type of games you play the most than we might give you some recommendations based on your preferences and the computer that you have. It'd be also great if you can give us a budget. =) Merry Christmas and God Bless!

If your budget is $200 then I would probably recommend either the R9 380 or the GTX 960. Granted there might be a possible bottleneck with both the cards, but at least you'll be future proofing yourself if you should ever do a full system upgrade. The only thing I'm worried about is your 500w PSU. Could you tell me what kind of PSU you have?

You can always get the one below those, R9 370 or the GTX 950. If your are really keen on getting the R7 260x than at the very least get the R7 270x. Here is a graph between the 270x vs GT 630.

EDIT: Actually you might as well get the R7 370 since they're both about the same price.

EDIT 2: I'm perplexed as to why the specs of the GT 630 GPU has changed when I pair it with the 370 and 260x. Can anyone explain?
