Gt 610 will be my last choice since it is within 2k i guess..but i am waiting for some other suggestions too..

HD 6450 / GT 520 both would be around / more than 2.5k .. try to get some good deals on second hand gpus.

thats some bucks over my budget..since i am really tight on budget..how is that xfx 9600 gt?

ya forget it it is not for gaming,so gt 9600 is more than enough for video playback and for htpc

yes i am not gonna game with those GPU..just HD playback..

You have a awesome rig. Loved it.

Since you will buy a good GPU next month and just use the GPU as a display out module and already have a FX8350 to take the pain even GF210 Zotac Synergy for Rs 1750 is more than enough to do your HD movie duty. Spend as less as possible.

yes i wanna spend as much less i can since i dont have enough budget at all..is zotac gt 210 1 gb ddr3 enough to play HD content on 1080p resolution? i have a Dell ST2220M monitor..

Im using it in my HTPC playing movies on a Sony NX 40 incher 1920x1080p with madVR renderer,so obviously it can!

Wow!! Thanks Mate..i think i will go with GT 210 then since it is within my budget..

just have a look at this before getting GT 210 :
HD Video Playback: HQV Blu-ray Benchmark : GeForce GT 220 And 210: DirectX 10.1 And 40nm Under $80

Hmm..i am again confused..

get the GT240 .. granted you are going to get anew powerful gpu soon but spending 400/500 bucks over GT210 worth every penny/

I have to wait some time to get the GT 240..is GT 610 is good or GT 620?

see fot htpc vdeo playback gt 610 is more more than enough.get it with eyes closed.and after get gaming gpu.

The rest of the cards, including the GeForce 210's competition, the Radeon HD 4550, were able to play back Blu-ray video with noise reduction enabled and no skipping at 1920x1080. They could even play the video smoothly when the desktop resolution was set to 2560x1600.

Its from that link HD Video Playback: HQV Blu-ray Benchmark : GeForce GT 220 And 210: DirectX 10.1 And 40nm Under $80

You are safe mate. Im using one. I told you.

That i know mate..but i am worried cause i download movies with higher bit-rate like 15-25 mbps

GT210 is fine as long as you play video without noise reduction ( acc to the test on TW ) but new driver version can fix those issues that the reviewers faced.
