1. Which Power Supply do you have? (Be EXACT while naming the company and model)
Ans: I use a 4 years old pre-configured HCL Desktop. So i'm guessing it has a el-cheapo PSU.
2. What is your budget?
Ans: Maximum limit is 5.5k
3. Which resolution will you game at?
Ans: I use 21" LCD. I plan to game at 1366 * 768. But can settle for 1 notch lesser.
4. What are your current computer specifications?
Ans: Have attached the CPU-Z Screenshots.

In short, Gigabyte G31M ES2L. Core 2 Duo 2.93 GHz. 2 GB RAM.
I want to play games such as BF3, CoD 4, DmC (mainly), AC2 / AC3. Its okay if some high end games don't run.
A) I use a 32 bit Win 7. Is it suggested that I add another 2 GB stick and switch to 64 Bit OS so that i can exploit the whole 4 GB for gaming?
B) I did a bit of research and thought that HD 6670 would best fit my needs and budget. Me being on a bit of a tight budget, which version should I go for? DDR3 or DDR5 ?. Also, I'm a total newb when it comes to gpus. I see various variations in the same series of HD 6670. Which one is a good one? For example, Sapphire? HIS?
C) Will my mobo be able to house the GPU?
D) Also, Since you guys would obviously tell me to change my PSU, so I'd like to know which is a cheap and good PSU that'd suit my requirement under 750 rs or 1k.
E) If you suggest me to upgrade my RAM & PSU, then I'd have to settle for a cheaper GPU because of the budget. So which is the next best one that I should opt for that's cheaper than HD 6670?
Btw, If this helps any further in giving more specific answers, I'm from Bangalore
