I am planning to buy a graphic card for my PC.


Its config:

i3 2120 3.3 Ghz Processor

Intel dh 61ww motherboard

4gb ddr3 1333Mhz

Resolution 1366x768


My budget is around 7000 rupees. I have to buy an excellent graphic card or a normal graphic card with 2gb ram.I can stretch up to another 1000 rupees but not more than that.

Most of sites are showing R7 250 with boost or ATI HD 7770 for my PC to cope up with current hi end games.

So please suggest a good graphic card

I know.... but just want to ask if R7 250x is insufficient for my PC to get my games running.... I dont use 1080p resolution after all

- - - Updated - - -

Between 250x and 260x.... price disparity is about 2k rupees..... if i have to go to price range of 260x ... i think gtx 750ti is better

Hi guys.... After thinking it out... I finally decided on Gtx 750 ti card... Mine is a 450 psu and 750ti does not need pci connector... mine is a basic configuration for gaming and it will cost quite a mint for upgrading my pc.... This graphic card will run in 720p medium to high in all high end games(I hope)... I only need to attach this graphics card without any enhancements on system itself... While others require buying Xtra parts

Yup Zotac is pretty good, make sure you register on their website, you get additional 2 years of warranty..
Aditya infotech handles ZOtac RMA and AFAIK, they are pretty good

Currently I have Zebronic ZEB-450W-T SATA PLUS 450 Watts PSU -

Zebronic ZEB-450W-T SATA PLUS 450 Watts PSU - Zebronic: Flipkart.com

I want to change my PSU in coming 1-2 months....

Will this support Gtx 750ti graphics card?

My monitor supports 1440*900 (75 hz) Max resolution

i would not recommend. even if you go for a lower end gpu, get a reliable power supply.

Go with these:

Sapphire R7 250X 1GB -7700,
Antec VP450P -2600.
TOTAL -10,300.

You now have a good entry level GPU + good PSU.

Hi all... after considering your suggestions and looking over for good PSU I came over this one.... I hope this one does the trick

CORSAIR VS-450 CP-9020009-UK 450 Watts PSU - Buy @ Best Price in India | Snapdeal

It is a UK edition but has domestic warranty of 3 years and over performs at 34A on +12 volts

Corsair VS Series PSu's are not that much recommended but you can go with these:

Sapphire R7 250X 1GB -7700,
Antec VP450P -2600.
TOTAL -10,300.

You now have a good entry level GPU + good PSU.

Ok then... I will buy antec vp 450 with 750ti next month.... Will the enhanced config be sufficient for gaming at 720 and 900p smoothly or should I also increase my ram?

Thanks for replying....Let me rephrase my question..... After adding new GPU and PSU my power consumption will obviously surge(including the monitor) which can be handled by my UPS during power.My UPS used to back up for two minutes before shutdown(5 Minutes if I switch off my monitor) before this upgrade.... But with untimely powercuts in India, If the system suddenly gets switched off before shutdown , there may be problem of any hardware failure.... this is faced by tier 2 and tier 3 cities frequently.......

3.5 years old UPS.... So If I am playing a high end game .... should have time to atleast shutdown after saving..... Five minutes it possible

^ no chance with a gpu,i guess. you may need to change your battery.
