ok PSU is solid
then you should and must go for HD 6850
If you are going to game at resolutions below 1080p, then you can look out for HD 5770 HAWK from MSI @ 8k

yes it is
btw you wont find any major difference in eye candy in games between dx 10/dx 11

the reason being opting for DX11 is due to future...i wont have to think for another 2 years for GPU....DX12 is a far fetched idea yet....
moreover i wanna go for something in 6xxx series and not 5xxx...6-series have better shaders....although they have less CPU frequency but they better picture...so bottom line....still searching...thanks u all for your inputs
