Hi guys,My motherboard is GigabyteGA-G31M-S2L/S2C ,Core2Duo E7400 2.8Ghz,Xtech LWT2505 SMPS 400W ,4GB DDR2 ram 800Mhz,320GB HDD.I have shortlisted Sapphire AMD/ATI Radeon HD 6450 1 GB DDR3 Graphics Card.
I intend to play games like Prince of Persia,Blur,Assasins Creed,NFS Hot Pursuit,COD,NFS Run,Burnout Paradise,Crysis.Will they work fine and is my motherboard compatible with this card?Its worth 2.5K on flipkart.Is there any other suggestion guys?

Get an HD 5670 or 6670 if possible. Don't know about your PSU though.

dude that costs 4.5k ....my budget is only 4k so was thinking on HD 6450 and what do you mean by PSU?

HD 6450 isn't really worth it.... and since you mentioned Crysis, it won't run. HD 5670 or HD 6570 are okay. HD 6670 is what we recommend to everyone spending on a discrete GPU.

Hd 6570 1gb is best under 4k.do not ever fall under of low end gpu like hd 6450 one as it is worst for gaming

PSU is the power Supply Unit...
Xtech LWT2505 SMPS 400W

i am quite sure this is desi brand. if you can, change it while buying the GPU, better for the health of your PC.

If your motherboard has PCI express, then these cards should run. But best if someone else answers this.

Asus AMD/ATI EAH 6570/DI/1GD3(LP) or Sapphire AMD/ATI HD 6570 1 GB DDR3 ...Which is better?

^That looks fine.You already have 4GB RAM,if you don't require extra amount of RAM then better go for HD6670 GDDR3 ~4.5k or HD6670 GDDR5 ~5.2k for better gaming performance.
