First of all, read this and answer accordingly:-

And secondly, graphics card RAM type got nothing to do with the type of your system RAM. :facepalm:

Buy this : MSI R6770-MD1GD5

Its much better than HD 6670 and your mobo will support this card.

1. Your motherboard will support 6670.
2. But that 6670 1GB DDR3 is inferior card for good gaming.
3. The link posted by fellow member above my post is a very good choice for you, provided that your 400WATT PSU isn't a desi one.

So it comes to this, to get proper suggestion about graphics card, you need to post the exact model number along with the manufacturer name.
