You can game on it, but modern titles will not run that great unless you lower the resolution and settings. Older title games like FarCry 1 will mostly run fine.

what would be a recommended GPU?

You might want to have something closer to a GTX 1050 at least.

But with a cpu like Q6600, I'd say GTX 1050 might be one of the best you can get without having the cpu bottleneck the gpu. You might want to overclock your cpu a bit to minimize any bottlenecking from the cpu side.

There is always the option of buying something secondhand for much cheaper.
