You can go in for a radeon 5570 or nvidia gt240 which will be better as you have a decent config. Just increase your budget to at best 1k. Even the zotac 9600gt eco is available for 3.6k.

By the way which psu you have?

^^HD5570 costs more than 4.5k.Only Sapphire's 5570 is for 4.2k.n 1GB GT 240 starts from 5k.Only XFX's 512MB GT240 is available for 4.4k.
@OP - u better save up another 2k n go for Sapphire HD5670 512MB.

What's the screen size and at what res do you want to game at?
Maybe by the time you save some more, GTS 450 prices fall a bit hopefully and you will have saved up enough for one. :)
(provided you have a good PSUto handle that)

Thank You for your reply's. I would be able to increase my budget till 5 if i would be getting a better with which I will be able to play upcoming games with better performance. The main thing i m looking at is performance and also I cant upgrade the GPU now and then. I know with this budget i m asking very much but thats my need.

OS- Windows 7.

Thank you Vicky for the answer. The PSU I m having is Frontech with 450w. Will this be enough or need to change it.

get a Sapphire HD5670 512MB at around 4.8-5k.

The PSU may run the gfx card but it's better to invest in a good PSu like FSP SAGA II 350W at 1.5 or Gigabyte Superb 460W at 2.1k.
