No highs, No lows = Bose.
Checked some BMs, Actually with 7750, you get avg fps~31/32 @ warhead @ 1650*1080,4*AA.
CX430v2 is enough.
how will u upgrade RAM in a DDR2 board without changing it ??

Its not possible?
Then please suggest me a budget board that will support Q6600 & DDR3 at once...

With the AA turned off, fps is bound to shoot up. (BTW u didnt mention the game)
Rightly said, we re going OT.

@OP If your budget is about 15k or less better get HD 7850 Power edition Oc'd version.

Coming on-topic, I think the best choice as many have suggested is get the following:
HD 7750 OR
HD 6870 (if available) OR
HD 7850.
Basically, the 7xxx series will even lower the power consumption and the heat generated. So, it will be wise to get:
Corsair CX430 v2
And I'd also say that get everything locally or from "non-flipkart" websites i.e. Techshop AND ITWares AND ITDepot
You might get reasonable rates there too.
For a tip, the PSU upgrade is hell of necessary as VIP can never provide what you get from Corsair. I have the CX430 v2 and a HD 6770, running awesomely awesome!
All I want to say is, spending a little more to help your GPU not starve and consequently DIE, upgrade your PSU first as both are interdependent.
Happy gaming

for the motherboard price you can get 2x 2GB DDr2 ram easily which is sufficient for gaming.
I disagree.
I was running (2 x 2) 4GB Corsair XMS2 800 MHz DDR-II with my Q6600 under XFX 650i but when the motherboard died, I purchased G41 Combo of Gigabyte having support for both DDR-II and DDR-III
I started with existing DDR-II and later purchased DDR-III (1333 MHz) and found indeed there is improvement in over all performance of the system.
For Intel Original DG31PR, there is only two RAM slot given supporting only DDR-II RAM with max FSB of 800 MHz
ARK | Intel® Desktop Board DG31PR
So no support for DDR-III RAM
