Please Suggest Graphic cards for Intel i5 2500K

[yaseer]

Hi all,

Please suggest me a better graphics for my PC. My budget is below 12k.

My PC configuration is
Intel i5 2500K
ASUS P8P67 Pro
Corsair DDR3 1600 MHZ
Circle 550Watt

I would like to run both Windows 7 as well as Mac OS X Lion. My choice is to go with Sapphire HD 6870, because it is compatible with Mac OS X Lion.
Mac OS X Lion Compatibility Database - Desktops - tonymacx86 Wiki

So i would request you to suggest, whether Sapphire HD 6870 is better enough for this price or do i have any other better choice in Nvidia card.

Firstly, your 'Circle 550Watt' can't run any good graphics card. You need to change it. So now you have 12K for PSU + GPU.
Get the following:
MSI GTX560 @10K
Corsair VS450 @2.1K

Thanks for your quick reply d6bmg.

I will consider your suggestion for changing the SMU. I just wanted to make sure it works for Hackintosh machine.
