Which exact PSU do you have? Anyways 650Ti is a good card for it's price. If you can spend a bit more, Sapphire HD7850 should be available for around 14.5k.

650ti and 660 dont fall under the same category. 650ti is within your budget, but if you can extend by 2k, take the Sapphire HD7850 OC version.

Strange combo of mobo and proc :-?

If your psu is a local frontech,zebronics psu then forget about a 660/7850.

If its a good branded psu then get the 7850 as stated above.
And yes, why a k series processor on an h61 mobo? Strange indeed.

Maybe he has turned the turbo off and has no plans to OC currently and when he does, he could upgrade to a Z77 later ...
Thats just my case :p
Could very well be his.

@ Op - if you have a good enough PSU, at 12k ( actually under 12k ) you can get a Zotac GTX 560 ti 2GB GDDR5 Ed. which is the best option for you otherwise go with Myth's suggestion.
