5700

Go for a Geforce 5700, sells around Rs.3900, and spend some extra cash on getting a 128 mb ram(i.e. upgrade to 768mb ram) for better performance.

U r wrong

First of all he has 1 Gb ram
adding Ram will not improve gaming performance at all .U will see 0 fps change.512MB is sufficient.But ya with more RAM game loading times will improve but not fps.

Dont go XFX cards.WHy?
bcoz for most the cheap cards they use 64-bit memory bus.Thats why cheaper.

Better u get Leadtek 128MB 128Bit WinFast A6200 TD card.Its around Rs 4200

The 128MB ram cards are sufficient.U will see 3-4fps difference between a Geforce 6200 128MB card and Geforce 6200 256MB cards.Memory bus width is more important than amount of RAM.
More memory bus width generally mean higher performance.

hi

for a 4500k budget, i suggest nvidia6200(256MB)turbo cache eition.it will fill ur hunger for graphics(dont think too big,it can run any game but at low settings or decent setting depend on the game).
