The best option in that budget is to get a

HD 5670 ~ 5.1k

and a

FSP SAGA 400w ~ 2k.. (get a FSP SAGA 350w if low on budget, although i would recommend you to get the 400w, gives you headroom for small upgrades)

Total comes to around 7.1k

you will have to add in 1k to your budget, but it will be worth it..

HD 4670 is your only option..

and will run on that PSU too...

its performance is almost equal to a 9600gt..

TheITWares - One Stop for all Gizmos!MSI GeForce N220GT-MD1G 1GB PCI-E 2.0 Graphics Card - TheITWares (DDR2 memory)

But the HD4670 would be better purchase in the 4k price point.(U can find 512MB GDDR3 version for ~3.9k. But its currently not listed in TheITwares)

TheITWares - One Stop for all Gizmos!Sapphire Radeon HD4670 1GB DDR3 PCI-E 2.0 Graphics Card - TheITWares

Zotac GeForce GT 220 1 GB Review - Page 30/34 | techPowerUp

The performance difference is ~35-40% between a 1GB GDDR3 based GT220 and 512MB GDDR3 based HD4670.

The difference would be even higher between a 1GB DDR2 based GT220 and 1GB GDDR3 based HD4670.

Unless u are looking for strictly Nvidia based card better get a HD4670.

Even the GTS450 is yet to be unveiled(to be launched on 13th) in US and it will take 1-2 weeks from US launch for mass availability in India and price stabilization.

$99 cards usually costs ~6k here
 
thanks guys but i was wondering if i oc'd my existing ram to 1600 mhz and kept the inbuilt graphics.. would that suffice?
asus m4n68t-m has an inbuilt 7025 geforce 256mb
