get HD5670 512Mb for 500 bucks more. for 4k, you'll get HD4670, HD5570, GT240, GT430, GT440 (maybe). but none of these really justify their price. once you upp the graphics, all shows their limit. better spend your money wisely.
H-series board (HD67, H61) don't require a GPU. but the on-processor graphics is not suitable for gaming. old games will run just fine. but new games will suffer as you can't increase details without lowering resolution or vice versa. both way, it sucks.
P-series boards need dedicated GPU as they don't have any video out. but they support overclocking, which H-series boards lack.

Any game released before 2009. Most of the games require you to lower settings in order to play. So better get a 5670 for 4.5k and play games at med-high settings.

around 4k (overpriced).
all games will run but newer game + high resolution = Slideshow FPS.
also jaicektm, 2500k & 2600k comes with HD3000 graphics. so can offer a bit more graphics power. but in the end, falls short of a discrete card. only beats super entry level GPU like HD5450 & GT430 or HD4670 sometimes.

FPS will be so poor, so that game will run like a slideshow of images.
Yes, you can. Please mention the resolution you are using.
I will be using Dell St 2220L Monitor as far as possible

it is a 21.5" monitor. get the fast GPU you can afford if gaming is your top priority. cause i am using HD5670 & it already started showing its age. 1600X900 resolution & most games can't be run with everything set to high.
if you have not brought the PC already, spend a bit less on the proccy+mobo combo. for a 22", anything below HD6850 & it won't last long.
I am planning to buy a new pc
this is my config
Proc - Intel I5 2400
Mobo - Intel H67 BL or Asus P8H67 LE
RAM - Corsair 4gb(2x2gb)
HDD - WD or Seagate 500gb
DVD writer - LG 22x
Monitor - dell 22" st2220l OR sT 2220m
Cabinet - Zebronics Bijli
PSu - Coolermaster 500W
I need a good graphics card below 4k for this config.
I am not going to overclock.. just want to play games like gta 4, ...
No upgradation in near future ( 3 years)

look to play games in 20/22 incher, you at least need 5770 which costs around 7-7.5k. And for bare minimum you need a 5670, again which costs around 4.5k min.
Now it's your choice. Get 5670, play games at medium settings at medium resolution(As per Sam's comment). Or get 5770, play games at good settings at decent resolution.
