I'd say pick up HD 7950. Will be better in the long run.
Skyrim and Witcher 2 tend to be slightly faster in HD 7950 though.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I will go with the sapphire 7950 OC edition. I think lower core clock is not a problem with 7950 with good heatsink as it should overclock pretty easily, correct me if i am wrong. I also believe that no matter how much FSX favors Nvidia, amd 7950 is still powerful enough to run it. Thanks once again.
@vkl thanks, that chart really clears alot of doubts. Btw where is 7970 available for 24k?

Suppose I get i3 2nd generation 2120+Asus PH61 MLX motherboard+ Asus HD 7770 DC 1 GB DDR5+20 inch Samsung LED monitor, what kind of cable I should use to connect the GPU to Monitor? earlier I had only used VGA cable till now in my old 15 inch CRT monitor without GPU. Should I buy a HDMI cable and what type it should be because I have no idea what so ever. Or the normal cable like i used earlier(it comes attached with the monitor with blue port with screws on both side). I think the recent monitors come with DVI cable. But if I opt for HDMI cable should my monitor has to be full HD and must have HDMI port to get the full benefit of this cable. One of my known person has GTS 450 with 20 inch monitor and he used a cable which had similar big ports on both side with screws. I am really confused about all this cable thing.

i would say that u can go with hd7950 eyes closed at 24k or whatever price u can get.........!
Im using hd7950 vapor-x though it doesnt have good stable unlocked voltage setting.....but at that price u are getting a reference board of hd7970 with hd7950...and its a good overclocker board......as the oc version is.....1100mhz setting on the core is achievable on both oc version and the vapor-x...cooling is little better on the vapor-x.....your choice....!

In search for Tech Gyan!
1. Which Power Supply do you have? (Be EXACT while naming the company and model)
Ans: Corsair VS450
2. What is your budget?
Ans: ~ 7.5k
3. Which resolution will you game at?
Ans: - Won't play too many games, as I'm not into gaming, but as far as gaming is concerned, can't say, (as it depends a lot on my system) but since, I'm having a Full HD monitor (AOC 2243FW2K), will try all possible (Playable) settings.
4. What are your current computer specifications?
Ans: CPU: Intel Pentium 4 2.93 OC'd to 3.55 GHz
MOTHERBOARD: MSI G41-P26 (has a, PCIex16 Slot Ver. 1, and supports the RAM at 1066 MHz by default)
RAM: Kingston Value Ram 2x4GB DDR3 1333 MHz (running somewhere around 1250 MHz, due to overclocked processor)
I know that the system is seriously outdated, but since this is my secondary system, primary one's my Dell Inspiron Laptop. I'll be using this system occasionally, but want to upgrade it. FOR THOSE WHO'LL BE SUGGESTING ME TO UPGRADE, PLEASE NOTE THAT I'M ON AN UPGRADE PATH AND I'LL BE UPGRADING SOON, this is the reason, I'm building a system around somewhat newer components, so that whatever can be used just doesn't go away wasted.
I've zeroed in at the AMD Radeon HD 7750 OC Edition from Sapphire or MSI. The only thing I want to know is that is there anyone who has used a PCIe x16 3.0 card on a PCIe x16 1.0 board, or on the MSI G41M-P26? Is it compatible as though, theoretically it is compatible and so says the AMD's User/Installation manuals, I've heard and read that people face problems with compatibility.

Thanks but the GPU have HDMI port I want to buy a monitor with HDMI port and under 10k max. The available brands are Samsung and Dell and may be Acer or AOC. Also the dealer said this(iBall 21.5 inch LED - Sparkle 2151 Monitor) is not in stock which is cheaper than Samsung and Dell but also have same 3yr warranty. Is HDMI monitor really necessary to get the best out of the GPU(Asus HD 7770 DC 1 GB DDR5) or the DVI would do the job well. I will be satisfied with little high(not ultra high) resolution like say 1600*900 or even 1024*768.

knocking on heavens door
DVI should do well....look for AOC offerings

Whatever port you use, it doesn't affect your GPU's performance i.e. it won't make it slower/faster. Buy any monitor you like and don't think too much.
It is just a way of connecting a monitor to the PC.btw, DVI and HDMI = same electrical signal. Only physical appearance is different. Plus, HDMI can also carry sound if you want to use a monitor/TV's built-in speakers.
I hope this clears it.
No problem and no issue.

Thanks. I just want to know with my above configuration(i3 2nd generation 2120+Asus PH61 MLX motherboard+ Asus HD 7770 DC 1 GB DDR5+20 inch Samsung LED monitor)if I choose 22 inch Samsung full HD monitor, will my Corsair CX430V2 is ok to run them or should I keep the 20 inch monitor?
Is there any role of UPS because I am having a 600VA UPS from Supercomp which is working fine and I think I will add a spike guard from Belkin to be on the sure side. other brands available are- V-Guard, Beetel, I ball, Numeric and some more out of which dealer says V-Guard is good.
