i ll work with 3ds max n maya.
my budget 1o-13k

my pc config as follows

processor intel core 2 duoE700 2.8ghz
motherboard gigabyte G31M-ES2L
memory 2048 RAM ddr 2
i ve a mercory 450w psu

Now am having a galaxy Nvidia force 9500 GT 1GB ddr3 but it is not professional card . it takes long time for rendering and sometimes crashing down my system

What The.... !!!
maybe even corsair cx400 can be enough(if you are short on cash)
you need to see how much amps is required on the 12v rail by the gtx 460
and how much is given by the psu in question

otherwise corsair vx450 is your best bet(total peace of mind for just 800 bucks more than cx400)

stick with cosair vx 450 if you don't have a budget of Rs.3800 you can go for gigabyte suprb 80 plus 460w which is also a gud psu.

scratch what i said earlier
get the vx 450(yes it is the very minimum)
just used corsair psu finder and came up with this

@Prakash, gigabyte 460W won't hold a GTX460. it can't. minimum is Corsair VX450W. if possible Corsair VX550W.

A Gigabyte 460W might be fine since the GTX 460 consumes less power than a 4850...so yea, maybe?

Btw, GTX 460 will not help you a lot in rendering....

GTX460 is power hog!! u will perhaps need a good 600W supply or corsair 550VX

Power Consumption And Temperature : Nvidia GeForce GTX 460: The Fermi We Were Waiting For

.. either don't buy that card or since u are looking for a professional card u could choose a quadro card / Fire GL card which will give better performance for rendering

first of all which renderer do you use to render?(mental ray or Vray or other?)
do you play games? if not then you should go for a professional GFX card i.e. Quadro or FirePro. they will help you much more in viewport view then the above one!

does 15k includes both card and PSU?
if yes then u can rather go for HD 5770 along with VX 450(this way u'll save 1.5k or so)

and if u can stretch ur budget by 1k more then u can go for GTX460 with VX450(however this setup will restrict u for future upgrades)

other way round u can go for HD 5830 with VX 450
