For you screen size any more than an AMD HD 6670 would be an overkill.It is priced around 4.5-5k.

Buy the 6670 or the 5670, 1GB version. Both are almost similar, with the 6 series commanding a small premium over the 5 series.

Also do check if your PSU has enough spare power for the GPU.

Get AMD HD6670 and Upgrade the Psu to-Fsp sagaII 400w-1.9k or Corsair cx430V2-2.2k

HD 5770 @ 5k, with discount code might be 4.6-4.7k .. Go grab it.. Its a steal Deal : BRAND NEW Gigabyte 5770 HD 1GB (GV-R577UD-1GD) Graphic card 1 YEAR WARNTY [OEM] | eBay

 

[comp@ddict]

I second the HD5770, the performance is much better!

^^ Yes this is a steal indeed, OP do look at this one. It'll run on a FSP Saga II 500W ~ 2600/- [you leave a little window for future upgrades, hard drives].

Else the HD 6670 is what you should look at paired with a CX V2 430W.

Hope this helps, Sire. Cheers! and happy new year to all on this thread.

Corsair GS600 @ 4.2K + Gigabyte HD 5770 @ 5k = total ~ 9.2K

PSU - CORSAIR GS600 Gaming Series 600W Power Supply

GPU - BRAND NEW Gigabyte 5770 HD 1GB (GV-R577UD-1GD) Graphic card 1 YEAR WARNTY [OEM] | eBay

I'm not sure whether you need 600W PSU, but High wattage PSU will provide you enough room for overclock and add more drives

 

[ALPHA17]

^^ An FSP Saga II 500W will be more than enough in OP's case.

2nd that... GS 600 claims to give 48A on the 12V and is certified for a 6850 Crossfire setup..Since the OP clearly mentions he has no multi gpu setup in mind...clearly an overkill

 

[sriharsha]

Thank you so much for all your inputs... So, i am going to suggest my friend about HD 5770 with FSP saga II 500W... Is this fine then?

 

[ALPHA17]

Go right ahead AND HAPPY GAMING.
