Hello

My configuration is Intel Core i5-2400 (3.10 Ghz), 2GB RAM, 20" LED monitor.
I want to buy a graphic card around 5k to play mission games like COD MW2, Battlefield 3.

Please suggest a good graphic card soon.

What PSU or SMPS do you have? Mention the Manufacturer name, Power rating and model number as exact as possible.

At a budget of 5K, HD 6670 1GB GDDR5 around 5.2/5.3K is the best choice. But 1st thing 1st....let us know the PSU first.

get FSP Saga II 500W. or Corsair CX430W V2. the former one should cost 2-2.2k & the later one will cost ~200 more but carries 3yr warranty whereas FSP offers 2yr warranty.

iball doesnt give good quality psu with their cabinets. So you definitely need to change your psu.
For 6670/gt440 you can do with FSP 350w or Gigabyte 380w. However for 6770 you will require atleast Corsair CX430v2.

your cabinet comes with iBall LPE/LPS 223-400 (250 W) power supply which is not enough to run any 5k gfx card - so you better take a look at Sams suggestion ;-)

Pick up anyone, which suits u. But as all suggested early, u need a good psu first. 6770 need a 6 pin power connector to run. Don't take risks. If u were unlucky, ur psu might gift u a nice red paperweight for ur desk. Good luck ..
