Motherboard-m4n68t-m le v2

RAM - 2 x 2gb 1333mhz

Monitor- 17" CRT (max res 1024 x 768 )

Gaming,HD movies

What resolution do you game on?
1024 x 768

Interested in Crossfire/SLI?
Not really.

Open to both Nvidia/ATI?
Yes
 
AMD HD 7770GHz edition ~8900/- OR
nVidia GTX 560Ti ~14000/- OR
AMD HD 7850 2GB ~15500/-

To power these cards it is recommended that you get the Seasonic S12II 520W ~3800/-. To extract the maximum performance of the latter two cards you will need to over-clock your processor.

Till when do you want to retain this card and what all games will you play?

Hope this helps, Cheerio!!

P.S. -- which cabinet do you have, because it can have accommodation issues for the latter two cards.

Isn't that overkill for that resolution ? And this card is for 1year only.I will buy whole new rig after 1 year. :)
And I'm going to buy Today itself..

Then go for the AMD HD 7750 ~7000/-. This will allow you to play most current and upcoming titles with decent graphics fidelity and can be later relegated to a HTPC build when you get a new RIG later.

Go for the Seasonic OR a higher rated SMPS because I do not think you will enjoy switching them so rapidly just for the sake of a new build.

Hope this helps. Cheerio!!

Corsair Builder Series VS 450 Power Supply

Ch@ts the VS450W has got panned for using a shoddy components, especially cheap capacitors. Read this article for more details.

But the silver lining is that the Corsair CX V2430W is still available from flipkart.

I think low end GPU like 6670 doesn't need banded psu's...And also it is just for 1year..

Get yourself a decent SMPS now [650W keeping the future upgrade in mind], instead of cribbing that your PC has got damaged later.

In the end it is your choice. We are giving you our opinion. Gaming will not be possible [except on low settings] with the HD 6670 so beware.

Get a GDDR5 6670. Costs around 5k or so. Should be good enough. No need of psu upgrade.

Ditto, been using the 6670 +A8 3850 in dual graphics mode and have no problem in playing almost all games in 1080p full setting except for withcher 2 and couple others.

6670 is light on power budget yet deliver great performance. I wish they create Dual graphics profile with 77xx series.

Anyway a decent 6670 should set you back in the range of 4.5-5k, so get it will suite your requirement.

ALPHA17 - 650W is too much for his system, a 450-500 or even 550W from good brand/80+ will suffice , have never faced any bottlenecks using VX450 in dual graphics , even in over clocking 3.6+ghz /2.4 ghz for ram.

So a 500-550w should be enough.

No Darky that was not the reason I am pushing OP to get a 650W SMPS, the reason is this --

, I feel the investment will be well worth it for the future.

Also if he does not wish to do that I have suggested the Corsair CX V2430W which is available from flipkart

As you have been using the HD 6670 for all purposes, I shall defer my wrong statements in that light. Cheerio!!

Corsair VX550W-4.5k OR Seasonic S12ii 520W-3.8k would be good enough for that combo.

GTX680 SLI would need a 800W Gold or Silver 80+ PSU which will come around 8k,It's your choice.

Thats complicated coz im thinking very big after an year..consider 2 gtx 680 cards so 500-600watts is not enough...

I run a 6570 on an antec 150W flex atx psu with absolutely no issues. I guess a 6670 will run just fine on a decent 250W.

I suspect it to be a local 250W and I am wary of recommending cheap power-supplies after one of my friends lost his Quadro FX-1800 to the vagaries of a Zebronics Platinum 600W SMPS

The Antec one will at-least be capable of spewing out its stated output.
