Everything in ur pc is outdated.u have to update everything!

Also what PSU do you have?

it is outdated but still it worked well for basic gaming and system never slowed down even with on board graphics,should i fit in a graphics card in there and continue with it ?

If u wanna stick to ur existing pc.
u can buy a 2gb ddr2 ram module,as ur motherboard supports only ddr2 memory type.n for graphics card at ur budget u can get Sapphire HD 5670 at 4300 rs which is compatible with ur MB.if u can extend ur budget u can get 5770 at 7800 rs

Also get a good company PSU if you don't have one. Go for aroud 450W rating PSU from companies like FSP, Antec, or Tagan.

sell ur pc and get something out of it.else 1-2 yrs down u will have to throw into scrap.whats ur budget BTW?

hmmm....
add 1 gb ram
and go for HD 6670 @ 5.5k or HD 5670 4.5k

and save money to buy a new system after a year or so

Is the 6670 available yet ? What is the nVidia Equivalent of it , 450 or 550 ?

Gts 450-->hd 5750
gts 550-->hd 5770

HD 6670 does not have any real competitor on that price range. But the closest one is GTS 450. GTS 450 performs slightly better than HD 6670 but HD 6670 is far cheaper than it.
