I am just a total noob about graphic cards and moreover I would be buying it for first time.
So, I want a graphic card around Rs 5K-7K(can extend if there is good deal) which can run latest games and in future.
Plus tell me if I would be required to buy a PSU.

1. Which Power Supply do you have? (Be EXACT while naming the company and model)
Ans:250W

2. What is your budget?
Ans:Rs 5000-7000

3. Which resolution will you game at?
Ans:Med level

4. What are your current computer specifications?
Ans:Ram-2GB Dual-Channel DDR3 (I think it doesn't matter that DDR3 part)
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Intel Core2Duo E7500
Motherboard 07N90W (PCIEX16 & PCIEX1)

If any more information is required tell me then.

hd 7750 seems to be best option for you

for psu - Open up your side panel. The power supply will be at the top or bottom of the case, depending on your case's PSU mount. Some cases have both. Anyways you will see a lot of power connectors sprouting from A big box(Power Supply Unit). There should be a label on one of the four sides that displays detailed specs

I am unable to find HD7750 @6.7k in flipkart.

So whats your PSU btw?

I have not opened my cabinet still.
Will open it on Saturday/Sunday.

Which company's ATI cards are of good quality.
Now I am thinking of buying HD7750 if it has same performance as of GTX650,plus costs a little less than it.

lower end cards like 7750/7770 are same every company..

they all stick to the reference design for low end cards.

but MSI is good is you are getting 7770. see if you can get the MSI 7770 Power Edition. Its awesome.

Should I order then from MD Computers rather than Flipkart?

first mail / call MD about the price and availability as what's shown on website is not always with them and the price also fluctuates a lot and like many other such pc shops ( which has a website ) they have a bad habit of not updating the website frequently ;-)

Do MD has replacement policy as of Flipkart if it's faulty?

I think my PSU is 250W. Is it right please check and tell me.

Yeah
Even for 7750 you require new psu

So go for 7770 plus new psu (In psu keep eye on +12V)

Yes MD has replacement policy for DOA products..

Not able to understand what to keep an eye for?

Not able to understand what to keep an eye for?

This means, higher current rating on +12 V is better.

So go for psu which give higher amps on the +12 V rail

Op's mobo can support 1333 Mhz DDR3 ram @ max - so I think Op better get 1333 Mhz ram modules as the 1600 Mhz VS has very loose timings - so there's no point in goung for 1600 Mhz ram with 11-11-11-30 timings.

@ OP - use cpu-z to find out your memory modules current running specs or post the PSD and memory tab screenshot here .. buy ram modules with same speed and latency and if possible from the same manufacturer ( your current memory memory manufacturer ) .
