firstly u got to change ur PSU 2ndly what resolution are u going to play at ?? for 6k go for GTS450 @6.3k or put in extra and go for 6770 6.7k :p nd for PSU go for a FSP SAGA II 500w @2.2k or a Corsair CX430 V2 @ 2.2k or Seasonic S12II 430w @~2.5k
so if u upgrade psu u have to go with a 5670 512MBGDDR5 @3.8k and any of the above PSU :p

HD 6670 for Rs. 5300.

Or

HD 6770 for Rs. 6800.

After upgrading your power supply.

You need to tell the "resolution" of the LCD, not "19 inch size". :)

Since it is a 19" LCD, I think the resolution is 1440x900. Both cards are fine for this. HD 6770 is the ideal card though.

^ Sapphire, MSI or HIS.

Avoid GDDR3 versions of HD 6670. Only buy GDDR5. Avoid XFX.

may be it's due to us - we have recommended seasonic psus so much that the demand has increase greatly and that's why they increased the price ;-)

@ Alive_Hunter - congrats on the purchase - can pst the model no. of Sapphire HD6770.

@ OP - thanks for the pics - ;-) add a bigger 120mm fan at front, one 80mm on back and leave some space between two HDDs - put the second one a little lower to improve air circulation ;-)

nope brother because the price of the 520w and 620w version hasn't increased, only the 430w one and even its price was very less compared to the 520 and 620.may be thats why they increased the price.

@op,
congrats on your purchases and that 6770 looks cool.btw have you bought cx 430v1?

^^ 430 model costs 3.1k, 520 costs 3.5k and 620 costs 4.6k - so 430 costs not very less than 520 but you can say that if you compare the 430 and 620 model ;-)

Alive_Hunter, really nice purchase brother. Now Njoy gaming. But 1st, some cable management inside your cabinet. Regarding your card, you have chosen a very good design, Sapphire normally provides better cooler design at the same price point where other companies offer the stock or reference design. The cooler is looks very good.

simple tip for cable management is route your cables behind the motherboard tray.
