Hi!, I'm looking for a NVIDIA Graphics card for Rs. 5000 to Rs. 8000. It will be used to play games like COD: Black Ops 2, Assassins Creed 2 etc along with playing a couple of HD Movies.

My config is:

Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 OC to 2.9 GHz
4 GB DDR3 RAM
500 W Cooler Master SMPS
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate

Thanks in Advance

@mandar does the resolution matter? Just get the best bang for the Buck.

@deepakpillai_009
Is the model of the PSU quoted by you correct?
There is CM Real Power 550w.Is there CM Real Power 500w too?

If it is CM Real Power 550w,then go ahead with hd7770.MSI R7770-2PMD1GD5-7.9k

there's real power M520 ( a semi modular psu ) but no 500W model and even if Op is using a extreme power 500W the cpu and gfx card combo will work just fine.

Can you guys suggest an equivalent option from the NVIDIA stables, preferably the 5 series or 6 series. :-D

On the downside, you can also consider GTS 450. It's still a good performer.

At that price range hd7770 is the card to get.Gtx650 performs lower than hd7770 but costs more.

Unless you want to waste money in that budget, no point of getting an nVidia card.

GTX 650. I've seen it (Zotac GTX 650 1GB DDR5 to be exact) listed at Cost to Cost's (Nehru Place-Delhi) price list dated 07-12-2012 at ~7.7K (including VAT). BTW, the HD 7770 is still better.

Go for hd7770, its the best card at 8k, I'm using it. The performance is the matter that is why everyone saying ati/amd. But if you like the name and the brand then go for nVIDIA :)
