Guys I'm planning to buy my first ever graphics card this festive season..

so please suggest me the best graphics card with the following specs within a range of around 6k. It would also be very helpful if you can provide address of the dealer specifically in kolkata.
SPECS:-
MB:- Gigabyte 945GCM-S2L
Processor:- Intel Core 2 Duo CPU E7200 @ 2.53GHz
RAM:- 2GB
Expansion Slots:-
1) 1 x PCI Express x16 slot
2) 1 x PCI Express x1 slot
3) 2 x PCI slots

* also plz mention the power (in watts) I need for such card

Thanks guys... think it would be a great Puja this time at least..

Here's the details of my monitor and PSU:-
Monitor- LG Flatron E700SH 17" (currently set at 1024x768)
Power Supply:- Image attached

for 6k you can get sapphire HD 5670@5.3k
i will suggest you change that psu for something like FSP saga II 350w@1.5k first
total damages would be 6.8-7k

^^ +1. that Intex Smart will go up or will damage your card, if you plug in a card. all these desi PSU are too bad for anything but some low power PCs. should avoid at all cost.

+1 @funkysourav

get the hd5670 and the psu

I'd say FSP Saga II 400W for that gfx card along with C2D. I know 350W will supply enough power, but it is good to have some headroom.
