you need a better psu as well. get hd 6770 /6670 GDDR5 gpu at 5.5k and antec bp300p psu at 1.8k.

I have no extra budget. Can u tell me a card which can run on my current psu??

 

[harshilsharma63]

You can run any card below HD7790 but there will be high chances that your current PSU will damage the card and/or other components. Google about this a bit and you'll get the idea.

7770 on his enter psu?
@op, you can go for 6670/7750. anything higher or even similar will/may cause serious damage. a good psu is essential for the life of other pc components as well especially the hdd.

What I mean to say is that his 500 W PSU can power anything below HD7790 but with serious risk of damaging the whole system.

Better go for HD 6670 1GB or HD 7750 1GB. Look for DDR5 variant only.
It should run fine with your PSU.

Instead of HD 6670, OP can opt for R5 240 GDDR5 cards which are based on GCN architecture. They are priced similarly as 6670 cards but perform slightly better.

I think you meant R7 240 anyway, can you point me to some reviews of R7 240 with GDDr5 memory ?

BTW, found one

you need to buy a good psu as well if you choose 7770 else wait for the fumes to enter from your "enter" psu.

Incrased budget so thinking to buy a r7 260x +a psu. suggest a good psu . (cheap)

 

[topgear]

good things can't be cheap anyway, For the cheapest and good unit you best bet is Corsair VS350 @ 1.9k but for a little more headroom get VS450 @2.2k. If you want some real good psus make up your budget at-least in 2.5 - 3.5k range. So do let us know your budget.

 

[Digitomega]

I am gonna buy a corasir vx 500. Will it be enough forr7 260 x ?
The r7 260x supports mantle. Whats mantle? Do it make a difference compared to gtx 650 ti ?

did you mean vs 550? better avoid it. instead get antec vp550p for 3.5k locally.even antec vp450p will suffice.
