You won't get a decent card in Rs. 1500. Since you don't mind spending another Rs. 1500 on upgrades, why not spend the entire Rs. 3000 on just the GPU?
Anyways the only thing you could get for Rs. 1500 would be 2 GB RAM. Mobo, proccy or HDD upgrades would cost way more than Rs. 1500.

You could probably get a Palit Geforce 9400GT 1 GB DDR2 or a MSI Radeon HD4350 512 MB DDR3 for that price.

it is totally useless to buy gpu worth 1500. Get atleast 8600GT for 2.5k-3k

The least should be a 9400GT 512MB for something around 2.2k. If you can spend 3k, then go for MSI NX8600 256MB GDDR3 or ASUS PCI-E 8600GT 256MB GDDR3

Go for 9400 GT 512 DDR 2 or 8600GT 256mb DDR 3 for some 3k or less. (Its for 3.2k here)
Yes your board supports GDDR 3 GPU
Dont confuse DDR 2 RAM and GDDR3 GPU .

Both these are Nvidia cards.
