What PSU do you have? At 3K, I don't think anything better than GT 620 or GT 630 is available. Forsa GT 620 1 GB DDR3 @ 3.1K is the best you can get.
Theitdepot - Buy Forsa Geforce GT620 1GB DDR3 NVidia PCI E Graphic Cards (F-NH-G620102B38L4G-175L) online in india

However, my suggestion will be getting Power Color HD 5570 1 GB DDR3 @ 3.4K. It is far better than both GT 620 and GT 610. Here is the link:
PowerColor AMD/ATI Radeon HD5570 1 GB DDR3 Graphics Card - PowerColor: Flipkart.com

If its Nvidia go with 620. 630 costs more than 4K.
If its ATi go with 5670 or if you can push a little go for 6670 ( less than 5K )

it hs 17a on +12v so therotically it can support upto hd 6570.it will suffice

Save that 3k and get a better graphic card later. I did what you are thinking to do. And now I'm regretting it.

IMMEDIATELY change the PSU else,it will take your whole PC down the drain,as I shudder DOWN MY MEMORY LANE, on 2007,the same CRAPPY iBall LPE223-400 just destroyed my XFX Geforce 8500GT + Seagate 320GB HDD after a period of 3 months on my BRAND NEW ASSEMBLED MACHINE(PC).
Friend,invest on a good quality PSU such that you don't need to regret later ...even your choice/options of new GPU & components will remain much flexible according to your FUNDS/BUDGET!!!

ashish a crap is always a CRAP,no matter how much calculations are performed.In this case 17A is too little and DANGEROUS to run a GPU.
Whatever may be the Theory,PRACTICALLY this crappy SMPS/PSU will make OP's machine KAPUT.
