I am currently using Coolmasters 350W Elite power psu.......recently my graphic card went kaput.....GTS 250 was the one i was using.....

Upon research i came 2 know that my PSU wattage was low for my config....

My budget would be
1.GPU : 5-6k
2. PSU - 3k-3.3 k

I have Intel q9400 2.66 GHZ processor and EQ45M mobo and 2gb Ram.....Please suggest.....

Click to expand...

HD6670 is a good gpu as well and you can find one around ~5k but considering your budget getting HD6770 @ ~6.5-7k + Corsair CX430v2 @ 2.2k makes more sense ;-)
