@ dilipc

Up your budget by 3.5k and get the radeon 6850 @ 9.5k. Its the best midrange gpu at the moment.

If you can't up the budget that much then nvidia geforce gtx 460 768mb @ 8k will be great.

The last option is again the radeon 5770 @ 7k.
Pick your gpu accordingly.:smile:

Nah man. Its not very good. Outdated. The 5770 is a lot better. What is the price of this?

Can't extend more than 1.5k, then get HD5770 @ 7.5k

Can extend 3.5k, then get 6850 @ 9.5k

If you'r PSU is VX450W one, it's more than enough to handle these cards. If not, then get FSP Saga II 500 W @ 2.2k.
