Get an Hd6670 1gb ddr5. And throw away that power supply and get something better.

Will this card be able to handle games like far cry 3 and latest fifa on medium settings ??

And why 2gb DDR3 ?? R7 240 1GB DDR5 is available for 5.8k in flipkart . Flipkart - Sapphire Radeon R7 240 boost-1-gb-ddr5

^ Get the 1gb ddr5 version.
And its very similar in performance to an hd6670. Just consumes less power.

Because of its lower price of course-if you buy the 2gb ddr3 version you can save a bit of cash and get an additional psu (such as the one i suggested) by paying a little extra.
