If you got the budget I'd get the 950. It'll help with any game and give you a decent amount of FPS for a low price.

The 950 is an absolute steal and you won't regret it.

 

Cheap, yet fast enough to power GTA V at 60 FPS on high settings.

and yet somehow my 980ti can't run GTA V at 60fps near ultra settings. 

 

But the 950 is a good choice for your needs op.

What is wrong with the HD 530 iGPU built into the CPU?

 

It will play CS:GO at 60+ FPS at 1080p without a problem, the OP doesn't need a dGPU.

 

I don't know about Cities Skylines, I've never played that one.

 

Don't knock built in graphics, they have gotten much better. :)
