So what other GPU should I get for 130$ or below?

For $130 my choice would be this

I want to buy a new GPU to run games like BF4,Titanfall,COD,Rust,THe forest.... What would be a good pair with my AMD phenom 9600 quad core?

In terms of today's GPUs, an R9 270/750Ti or anything under will be fine. 270X or 760 might be pushing it a little but you won't lose a lot from to bottlenecking.

130$ but it needs to work okay with my CPU

260X. But if you can squeeze in a bit more money then 750Ti.

I was going to go with the XFX R7 260x DD version

GTX 650Ti Boost/750Ti, or R7-260X/R9-270 higher than that is gonna be bottlenecked

lol I just posted about the 260X above that. The 260X is also a great card overclocked. I wouldn't get the XFX version, I've had a horrible past with XFX cards. I'd get the HIS IceQ X2. Would go really well with your CPU and budget.

If we're going to go for past cards then there's a lot of cards you can get second hand that are faster then a 7850 or 260X, it just depends on whether you can find them, and if your PSU can handle them. For $130 I can get a GTX 580 or two 6850s.

500w psu can handle the XFX card right?

Yes 500W will handle it no problem. It's just that I've had lots of problems with XFX so I couldn't recommend them. I've tried many AMD vendors as well and the one that's been the best to me is HIS which is why I recommend them. Quiet coolers, cards run cool, and haven't had a single issue with any card of theirs.

Why not the XFX version?

I've had 4 XFX cards. 3 of them (8800GTS 512MB, 9800GT, and RHD4770) broke and XFX won't honor them because they're past warranty, even though the oldest, most abused video card I have still works (geforce Ti 4200). The forth card (RHD 6870) is for some reason voltage locked unlike the other 6870 I have.

30FPS is playable on a console. On PC, it doesn't look that good. Trust me, you won't be maxing out BF4 or C3 on a 260X at 1080p and have enjoyable gameplay. It takes at least a 270X/760 for that.

Just get MSI, EVGA, Asus, Gigabyte, But not XFX, it's a mater of build quality, reliability

Yes, but you're not going to enjoy an average of 30FPS.
