In gaming the Fps loss between Pci 2.0 and 3.0 is minimal as well as comparing a X4 slot to a X16 at most your losing 5fps in the most extreme situations. I actually use to play all those games on a R7 260X so a 960 GTX should do you fine since you can pick it up for $150 right now. The RX 460 "~$100", RX 470 "~$150 and 1050 GTX "~$150" all will luanch soon and be faster than a 960 GTX so I expect the 960 to drop even more.

There not released yet but will be soon enough. If you have nothing then pick a card for under $100 and wait till a good budget card launches or the sales later in the year starts. The games you listed are not extremely demanding except for WoW in a heavy PVP instance where you have 40+ on each side. If you do a little Forum hunting you could probably pick up a decent used card for around $50 that will fair you well enough for the Cyber Monday sales.
