Any good CPU(s) that can support arma 3, dayz and Black ops 2 on a decent fps?

Budget: Around 120 dollars.

I'd prefer not buying a new mobo as I don't have the money for that.

Specs:
Asrock N68-S3 UCC
AMD Phenom II X2 555
GTX 650 TI
6GB Ram, DDR3.

Any Phenom II quad or hexa core processor in your board's CPU Support List if you can still find them: http://www.asrock.com/mb/NVIDIA/N68-S3%20UCC/?cat=CPU
Most places are still selling the Phenom II X4 965 BE, but I wouldn't recommend using the 125W processor on your 95W board. When it maxes out, it could fry VRs, Caps, etc.
This hexaCore would be a nice upgrade for gaming: http://www.amazon.com/AMD-Phenom-Processor-Edition-Socket/dp/B0056D5AMY/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1370900247&sr=8-4&keywords=Athlon+II+X4

Here is a gaming CPU hierarchy chart so you can compare where the processors you come across stand:

Tigerdirect usually has random stock of the 95watt phenom II X4s and x6s as new for around $80-120

Also if u cant find a phenom II x4 95watt then id go with the athlon ii x4 640 or the phenom II x6 1045t which tigerdirect usually always has in stock
