Looking to purchase new gfx card after my palit gt 240 ddr5

Following are the config:

AMD Athlon X2 250
Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2P
4gb Ram 1333 Mhz (Kingston and Corsair 2gb each)
Seagate 1tb HDD
Corsair cx 430 v2

Keeping a budget of 8K

New card should handle latest games on Medium or high settings

HD 7770 is the best under this price category but online prices are dodgy.. Try locally or get from SMC for 7.9K

Thats quite an old processor. Considered an upgrade ?

It might to be a bottleneck for the HD7770, which is the best card in your budget.
A HD7750 might be a better(read safer) match.
Try OCing that proc. It will do a decent 3.8ghz atleast.

Cpu temp is above 38 degree celcius without overclocking, so I will not take risk with overclocking..

I will play games like BF3, Max payne 3 , GTA 4 and dirt 3
Is it possible with this card and proccy?
Or
It will bottleneck

38 degree C is okay for your processor at idle. You can overclock another 200/300 MHz with the stock cooler. However, I don't see chance of any high bottleneck of the card with your processor. Get the Gigabyte card you've mentioned earlier.

You can get Asus HD7770 1GB for 7.5k to 8k. Local prices normally fluctuate from vendor to vendor. So bargain in the price specified.OK.

~10% less..

This should give you the rough idea
(HD 5770 and HD 6770 are the same GPU)

^^ Welcome to TDF ;-)

BTW, are you suggesting to OP then GTX 650 is not a good choice at-all though GTX 650 Ti is better but it costs more so at 8k HD7770 is still the best VFM graphic card.

Yes, HD 7770 is a better card than the GTX 650...GTX 650 can be compared only with
HD 7750.
