An Nvidia GTX 750 1GB should do fine and should be around €70-80 second hand. There is a 750ti model which is more expensive. It's a pretty new model as well so it won't be that old.

That should be fine too and probably easier to get your hands on.

It's a good brand power supply so it should be fine for cards with around 150W power consumption or less.

R9 260 is probably your best bet here, especially for the games you mentioned
