I am building a gaming PC and I found a great used kit - 8b DDR3, mobo and i5 4690 CPU.
What would be some choices of GPU's I can buy?

Also if I want to keep this kit for gaming for the next 2-3 years max, would an FX-8350 be better because of the more cores, or just stick with the i5-4690? I know its not much but i cant afford the new series and I dont play demanding games anyways.

Thank you.

For gaming, buy the best graphics card that your budget and psu can support.
Just a guess, GTX1050ti would be a very good card.
If you are buying used, try for no less than a GTX750ti.
The relative performance of cards can be found on tom's gpu hierarchy chart.

FX-8350 would be a horrible buy.
The platform is all but obsolete, and the cores are slow.
few games can make good use of more than 2-3 threads.

What is the cost for the kit you found?
What is the motherboard?

I suspect that you can find a low cost complete pc as a better deal.
