You need to change your PSU before you can add any GPU in your system.

Get the MSI R6770 for about 6.5k. Its agood performer but I think ur psu wont be able to handle that because its not from a reputed brand.

You can get a GPU + a good PSU well within your budget.

HD 5670 + Corsair Cx430v2.
HD 6670 is almost the same card although this one is available at a lesser price :wink:

a new HD6670 ( GDDr5 ) will cost around ~5.3/5.5k and Op has max budget of 7.5k but a CX430v2 costs ~2.5k now - so Op can opt for Crsair VS450 @ 2.1k which won't cross his budget limit.

Need a GPU & PSU combo for below 8.8

Hi guys, I'm buying a new GPU but my PSU is not adequate for any mid-tier GPU So I have to upgrade my PSU all within my budget of 8.8k.
Could anyone please help me in choosing?

Thanks.

other option is stretch budget to ddr5 or drop down to 6670 ddr5

In that case HD 6670 1 GB DDR5 @ 5.6k and Corsair CX430V2 @ 2.3k will be more than enough.

and which cpu?

6770 for 6.3K isn't it a good option
it is with 800 shader cores clocked at 800MHz paired with ddr5 v-ram clocked at 4400MHz (70.4GB/s), and fits perfectly in your budget

get the 6770 and the corsair cx430v2. It falls under your budget and will last you for some time at your resolution.

There can be nothing better the a CX430 v2 and a HD 6770 for him.

CX will give you really nice service.
