for what purpose you will use the card..?

at that price range ATI Radeon HD 5670 with DirectX 11 is good option

or if u want entry level DirectX 11 card then ATI Radeon HD 5570 will also workout.

wait for other peoples suggestion.

Thanks much for all the replies.

Purpose of having a GPU is gaming. I am not sure which PSU i have will have to check.

Can't I go for Sapphire HD 5670 1GB as price difference is minimal between the two?

What PSU will support Sapphire HD 5670?

Choose you PSU very carefully before buying a good gpu because it is very essential part of your system

mine recommendation is choose between these manufacturers

for eg. # Corsair # FSP # Tagan
