See if you can find a 4670. I bought one 2 years ago for 3200, so should be much cheaper now, although availability will be an issue.

HD 5570 1GB DDR3 is the cheapest gaming card one should get these days. Anything below it, wont rally help you in playing latest and upcoming games.

my overall budget is Rs:. 5500. but in my pc i got only 250 W PSU, so i need to buy a good Psu also so remaining money will go for my GPU, i am considering 3000 for PSU and 2500 For GPU

if you are running your pc till now fine with a 250w psu then you don't need a rs.3000 psu now.6670 or below ati cards don't need dedicated/separate power input(just plug the card in pci-e x16 slot) so even a local rs.700-800 psu from umax should do the job fine assuming a processor no above than core i3 or amd athlon/phenom dual core/quad core with no overclocking.if you want cheapest decent brand then look for 400W FSP saga II for ~1800.

cheapest and best card is 5670 ddr5
you can play all available games in low-mid configuration
use remaing money in psu

Go for any 400 or 450 w psu
check +12V (it should be atleast 18W)

don't go for 6670 ddr3 as it is expensive and has low performance as compare to 5670 ddr5

If possible go for 7750 ddr5
amd 7750 ddr5 is the best card which require low psu i.e 400w (although in flipkart it is 450 w)
Its price is continously increasing in flipkart (from 6660 to 7247)
you can also go for gigabyte 7750 for rs 6660,GIGABYTE GV-R775OC-1GI GRAPHIC CARD
Try to get this card in local market around 6.2 to 6.5k

your best options :- 5670 ddr5 or 6670 ddr5 or 7750 ddr5
there is 1k difference among them

best is get hd 6670 ddr5 at rs 5400 + local psu from vip,umax or zebronics.it should be 400w and 18a on +12 rail.

i suggest get vip 400r plus psu at rs 600.it has 20a on +12v rail so 280w output

There is also an UMAX 700W PSU which offers around 23A in the 12V rail, priced around 0.7K. It also offers slightly better build quality and a good 120mm Fan. My friend is using it with his FX-8120 (at stock speed) and HD 6670 GDDR5 for couple of months now without any issues.
