-XFX AMD/ATI Radeon HD 6790 1 GB DDR5
-Zotac NVIDIA Geforce GTX 550 Ti 1 GB GDDR5
These two cost 8500 on flipkart.
Thanks in advance.

Oh and BTW my pc configuration is following

Ram 3 GB
Some basic Gigabyte MoBo
PSU 450 watts
P.S. Do i need to invest in a PSU.

get HD7770. or HD6850 if you can sell out 600-700 more.

if you have a basic PSU, go for HD6770 + Corsair CX430W V2. total cost will be 9.5k

^^ I think he just need mention the budget but based on his rig a stock clocked GTX 560 Ti would be the best choice but he should not OC the cpu or gpu though.

@ u100i - get Corsair VS450 @ ~2.2k / CX430v2 @ 2.5k and a HD6770 @ 6.5k.

Or get a HD6850 @8.5k and CX430V2 @2.5k. Overshoots budget by 2k but worth it.
