+1 for 5670

IMO anything over tht would be bottlenecked by the rest of the config and dangerous on tht PSU. Make sure u get the GDDR5 version though

Next qn:

This card is having 3 ports
1) DVI
2) HDMI

The monitor is only having 1 VGA port.

How should i connect it. The adapter that comes with the box pack will it be of any help?

bro you will get a VGA to DVI converter,which is actually the adapter about which you are talking......you can connect your monitor with your GPU with it....

DVI cable price will be around 300-400 bucks. The card will come with a DVI-VGA adapter which you can use to connect the DVI cable to your monitor.
I am not sure what cable you're talking about....Graphics cards normally don't come with any cables.

when i got my HD5670 from Sapphire, it didn't came with any converter. so i guess the cheaper cards doesn't ship with these converters to cut cost.
