buying a new card in a few hours plz help

hi ,

my system configuration is a core2 quad processor at 2.66ghz and 4gb ram(ddr2) and my motherboard is an Intel DG35ec (classic series) i was using a xfx 9500gt previously and somehow the fan in the card has popped out and by mistake i have picked up a zotac GT520 2gb version.and a zebronics smps. i have a samsung monitor with a native resolution of 1440*900. do u recommend me to exchange the graphic card and get a new one ? i expect my graphic card to allow me to play the latest games at least in medium settings. though my budget is 5~5.5k can u reccomend me a good one or will this card be sufficient?

6670 1GB DDR5 @ 5.5k at mdcomputers.in is best bet.

If you don't mind getting an used one, try in E & TE for some good cards at cheaper price.

bought the saphire hd6670 ddr5 for 5.4k and exchanged the gt 520 with the dealer

as of now have a zebronics gold series 450 watts smps do u guys recommend something else ? i am running the 6670 on the zebronics smps.
thanks for your suggestion guys

^^ Not an issue, as 6670 doesn't require any pcie connector, but to be on safeside buy FSP Saga II 500W or some entry-level trusted brand PSU

Corsair VS-350 is a good option. Should cost around 1.8k locally.

Zebronics will do fine. Am also using the same.

^^ No issue with Zebby, but to be on safe side, better to buy some entry-level PSU like VS350 suggested by saswat and have peace of mind.

What happens if the psu messes up? will it damage the card? i have an intex 450 watts psu, is it okay?

^^ Whats your rig? Yes, if PSU burst it may cause damage to other components too.

After exchange of GT520 the price is quite high as price of GT520 is 1.6-1.8K
And your current PSU will work just fine with 6670.

Its an old computer. P4 3.0 Ghz, 2 GB DDR2 RAM. I'm thinking of buying a Radeon HD 6670 but not sure whether to buy a 2 GB DDR3 one or a 1 GB DDR5 one.

Buy 1gb ddr5.2gb is waste for gaming.ddr5 are faster than ddr3

How come some high end cards have four and six GB RAM?
