His reso is a bit higher.. Will have to reduce almost all settings to low... But as I said it will work, even crysis works but with less FPS..

give some breathing margin to your PSU. a decent FSP or gigabyte 400~450W will give peace of mind and your system will be safe
crysis 2 works on 800*600 on IGP4250 ... waiting for my card
chirag did you get one for yourself or still waiting

Exactly
Mate but I don't want to spend unnecessary money, moreover my system is branded and I don't think there is scope for power supply upgrade.

Guys I also would like to share that my system is 2 and a half year old so I think that should not be an issue. Also I will keep this system for another 4-5 years!
Now I have stretched my budget to 4K - along with HD 5670 is there any other card from any company which is less power hungary i.e. work with 300 watts power supply?
Also I would like to know if the graphic card draw power all the time or it draw more power according to load. I will be playing games for maximun 1 hour and not more than that so I think with 300 watt power supply I may be able to run HD5670 or similar card?

I would be more proud if you keep studying
(Seriously)... I am already working in Larsen & Toubro after my degree.. I have a 6850 to satisfy my gaming needs
@OP: Gfx card draws power depending on load... If you can, then let me know the Current rating on +12A of your PSU.... Its written on a sticker on that PSU..
chiragsthakur do not buy GFX card if you can live without it. It's better to stay away from gaming. Keep studying and we'll be proud of you(seriously)

there are more reasons to upgrade your PSU as you will keep the system running for 4~5 yrs[without upgrade] and your PSU is almost 2.5yr old adding a graphic card will add more load on the PSU so it will have to perform above its capabilities
P.S. I got my old generic 400W PSU lying around if you need then i can send that to you atleast its 400W and i believe it can power an enty level GPU

I strongly recommend you to buy used HD 5670 1GB DDR5 from here : http://goo.gl/LFAVr and buy a new generic psu ( since you won't invest more ) or get used one : http://goo.gl/m407D
