Everything from 1973 on up is different now. Mostly at least. Some events may still be similar. How Rogue and Logan end up at the school might be the only thing that's the same now, but even that is debatable because the surrounding events to it means that mutants were more known in the public by that time and means the entire Senator Kelly story used would be different because they wouldn't be debating that topic in the Senate anymore. At least not in the context they were.

So really, only XMO: Wolverine is still accurate, but only the opening montage from it. So is X-Men First Class since all its events take place prior to 1973. 1973 is the divergence point of the three timelines since it's where Logan went back and events went into motion for the DOFP future to happen, but they also stopped it from happening. Trask and Sentinels that lead to the DOFP apocalyptic future is one timeline(which includes 'The Wolverine'), X1, X2, and X3(though X3 references something like the DOFP sentinel project in the opening Danger Room scene, but that's more an Easter egg than intentional story nod) are another timeline, and then there's the future 'saved' timeline from DOFP. Which is the currently being used one.
