Yes evga is a superior brand but its availability is scarce in india. Asus is another premium board maker especially its direct cu II design cards for both nvidia and amd. They charge a premium too.
And yes amd cards consume less power than nvidia cards this generation. But nvidia cards have a relatively cooler operating temperatures ( read 5 series) than their competitor.
Pricewise also amd has an edge over nvidia as they price their cards very competitively.
Their aggressive pricing forced nvidia to make some mistakes especially in the case of gtx 590. A wonderful gpu ruined by nvidia.

my PC running E4600 Core 2 Duo 2.40 GHz with 2 GB RAM as I don't have enough bucks to upgrade all these components, if I upgrade GPU and PSU so what problem will i face (in details pls)??

E4600 is ok to go for a GPU upgrade. Although there may be some bottleneck, but still u will get high performance boost. Just try to overclock your processor a little...E4600 is a good overclocker.
And for GPU, what is your budget and also let us know the budget for PSU.

cilus see this -
*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/graphic-c...ted-general-queries-here-445.html#post1370726
now its crysis 2.
and in some more cpu bound games performance will be even less!
so i dont think its wise to spend on a 15k gpu unless your processor is good enough to support it.

so what should I do go lower GPU like gts 450 or GT 520?? as I do n't need to play games at ultra high resolution(2550x1600) and my Monitor support VGA 1440x900 resolution (DVI also). (As i can't upgrade CPU , monitor, mobo...)

This is list of proccy's available on your mobo-[mentioned on the site]
Processor upgrade
information Socket type: 775 Motherboard supports the following
processor upgrades: Core 2 Duo (Conroe) up to E4300 Pentium D (Presler) up to 960 (3.6
GHz) Pentium 4 (Cedar Mill) up to 661 (3.6
GHz) Celeron D (Cedar Mill) up to 365 (3.6
GHz) Celeron D (Prescott) up to 355
(3.33GHz)
you have e4300 right?
So you already have reached saturation point(that is using best proccy usable in the mobo)

those 450 and 520 are nothing. to enjoy gaming and be futureproof you need something better.
you will feel lag sometimes but as you cant upgrade your processor now so as cilus said oc your processor. it will give good performance boost.
stick with 6870. futureproof and will be good if you upgrade your monitor to full hd and proccy and mobo too.

I had issues with Sapphire but the vendor replaced it without any fuss. Even MSI I heard is good for HD 6850.
