Purpose of GPU?
which PSU u hav?

 

[khmadhu]

for what purpose you will use the card..?

at that price range ATI Radeon HD 5670 with DirectX 11 is good option

or if u want entry level DirectX 11 card then ATI Radeon HD 5570 will also workout.

wait for other peoples suggestion.

@OP PSU plays a very imp role, so which PSU u hav...
If thats a generic one, it s recommended to change that too....

^^5670 is the best choice in OP's budget....
But get a good PSU like FSP Saga 350w(atleast) - 1.4K

Thanks much for all the replies.

Purpose of having a GPU is gaming. I am not sure which PSU i have will have to check.

Can't I go for Sapphire HD 5670 1GB as price difference is minimal between the two?

What PSU will support Sapphire HD 5670?

Atlease FSP Saga 350w - 1.4K
FSP Saga 500w - 2K more future proof(can power upto 6850)

U r welcome...
Check the PSU and post here....
If u needed the PSU to be future proof,
i.e, in future u need a powful GPU, get FSP Saga ii 500W...
Its a good idea to save up some more bucks n get this PSU..

Choose you PSU very carefully before buying a good gpu because it is very essential part of your system

mine recommendation is choose between these manufacturers

for eg. # Corsair # FSP # Tagan
