1. Which Power Supply do you have? (Be EXACT while naming the company and model)
Ans: Zebronics 500 watts (not sure about model number)


2. What is your budget?
Ans: Rs. 2.8k - 3.3 k;



3. Which resolution will you game at?
Ans: 1280 X 720 (occasional gaming)
I want to use the system to watch 1080p movies over HDMI on my 32" LCD TV.
So the card must have HDMI output.
It should support 3D movies and games (some Radeon cards like HD 6450 has HD3D technology. not sure about Nvidia cards).
Which one is better Radeon HD or Nvidia Geforce


4. What are your current computer specifications?
Ans: Intel Pentium D 2.8Ghz, Intel D101GGC MoBo
2GB DDR1 RAM, 80GB Seagate IDE

Get HD 5670 512 MB DDR5 ~ 4.5k. I know it's a bit out of budget, but it is nice entry level card.

Thanks friends. but due to some changed circumstances I need to get a new processor + mobo + ram + graphics card + PSU to build a HTPC at a budget <10k.
Any suggestions?

Bud, 10k is very less for those above components. You'll need minimum 15k.
