And the power outages are about 2/3times a week
And i mainly only play games on my pc so if the power goes out no problem for me most games autosave but will it damage my pc?
I just cant afford it
 
The hardware won't be damaged but you may suffer data loss. Anyways, having a UPS is always preferable when power cut occurs so often. Moreover, a UPS will also protect the PC from voltage fluctuations.

I'm not aware of the cost of a stabblizer but a quality APC 600 VA ups costs 2.3k. If a stabblizer costs anywhere near this, get the ups instead as it will provide regulation as well as power backup.

Normally how many years does a graphics card lasts?

Depends primarily on your luck,the quality of the components used in the GPU and your usage patterns-Most well known gpu manufacturers like Asus,sapphire,zotac etc usually use good quality components in their graphics cards in order to improve their durability.Also,if you take good care of your pc and clean it on a regular basis then it should last atleast 4-5 years or longer.

Getting a ups is always recommended even if you don't experience too much voltage fluctuations or power cuts in your area-for your current system,the 600VA APC ups suggested by harshilsharma should do just fine.
