What Psu you using btw?

HD6850, lower power consumption, good OC potential like GTX460, it's MSI, so afterburner will work fine despite being a non-reference card(voltage control FTW!)

Go for HD 6850. If you can increase your budget to 12.5k you can get 6870/ [ in some place you can get it in 12k]

cm 600w extreme...can i run 6870 and 6950 on it....

First mention the PSU and then ask for suggestions, don't expect a VIP 500W PSU to run a graphic card above the AMD HD 5670.

Good enough for HD6850. I wouldn't push it if I were you. HD6870 comes closer to HD5870 and HD6950 in power consumption.

The HD6850 is perfect really. Get the cheapest model you can.

Yeah Man, dont even think of 6870.. better take 6850..it will run fine on CM600. Or else directly lean towards Sapphire 6950 1GB. Value for money.
