Nice find. I think it is the best choice within 5K range. This card offers almost same level of performance of GTS 450 and HD 5750/6750 due to its Northern Island architecture and does not even require extra PCI-E power connector. It is considered as the most powerful card without external power connector.

Yes Sapphire/MSI HD 6670 1GB GDDR5 suits the best for OP's budget.
@All-Will be Zebronics 450W local smps enough to power the card?

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

yes..

 

[saswat23]

Yes, it will as HD 6670 doesnt require external power connector.

 

[syamprasadkr]

But some say that 450w smps will provide much lower supply unless it is a cooler master smps.
Is this gonna make any problem?

 

[Cilus]

^^ It is partially correct. The local PSUs are always sold overrated and they hardly provide the quoted power. But unless it is a Cooler Master SMPS part is not true. PSU from any reputated brand will do the job and some models of the Cooler Master PSUs are happen to be good.
But the most available CM PSUs like CM Extreme and CM Extreme Plus are of very bad quality and can't be relied upon for powering powerful configs.
Since your config is not that power hungry, I guess the Zebronics PSU of yours can handle the job. But for safety, could you check the exact model number of the PSU and post it here? We can crosscheck the capability.

The SMPS label says ZEB-450W SATA PLUS(20+4PIN).

It has 20A with +12V.

Thanks .

 

[Cilus]

ZEB-450W SATA PLUS(20+4PIN) is a standard PSU and has better quality compared to the other local PSUs from Frontech, Intex etc. And since it has 20A in the 12V rail, I think it can handle HD 6670 without any issues.
