Hi guys,

I am from Dehradun, India and i am a casual gamer. I want to play new games like NFS The Run, COD MW-3, etc.

My current system is:

Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit OS
AMD Athon 64 x2 4800+ 2.5Ghz
Asus M2N MX-SE chipset
4 GB DDR2 RAM
256 MB Integrated nVidia 6150 Graphics Accelerator
450W PSU
17" Samsung TFT LCD

I had Geforce 8400 GS 256mb graphics card which is dead now.

So I want to upgrade my Graphics Card and I need your suggestions for that...!

Thanks Guys.

I'm sure that's a Chinese 220W PSU, in which case you are limited to HD6670 and below, unless you upgrade your PSU.

Since you are playing on a 17" a HD6670 should be plenty.

PSU is Intex made, yup made in china.

I am looking for a budget graphic card either nVidia or Ati.
In case, if I choose to upgrade my system which card should i go for?

your psu is of bad quality not fully 450w an gts 450 or hd 6770 is maximum for this psu.it would be better to get an hd 6770 because it consume less power.

6670 would be max imo. A psu like that probably isn't giving constant watts anywhere near the specifications.
