Read as 6670 in the title

I have a phenom ii x2 555 processor on amd 785 am3 board (ddr2 only)..no overclocking

I want to upgrade from integrated graphics....my psu is a cooler master real power 460w

Considering my old cpu, which gfx card will be ideal, a 6670 ddr5 or something else

Has the 6770 been discontinued?

Budget should be 6k+/-1

Only need an AMD card

Should i buy Sapphire or any other company?

Go for Sapphire. The mentioned cards aren‘t discontinued AFAIK.

Can i use a HD 7750 in my system. Will the slow CPU prove a bottleneck?

7750 will be good. Go for it.

BTW, what's your screen resolution?

You might have to lower your resolution and some settings in games,but go for the HD 7750.

@ OP - for playing at HD resolution you better try to extend the budget a little more than 8k and get a HD7770.
