Plz mention make & model of Monitor, cabinet, Motherboard so that we can help

Exactly. Otherwise we won't be able to suggest anything as we don't know what Processors are supported in your Motherboard.

I want to buy new ram upto 4gb
hard disk is of wd 500gb
smps = livewire usmps 450

Well, then you need to get a new SMPS too as your current one is basically a local SMPS and can't be trusted with any mid range dedicated Graphics card. Get the following:-

CPU: Core i5 3470 @ 12K
GPU: Zotac GTX 650 Ti Boost @ 12K
PSU: Antec VP450 @ 2.7K
Ram: 4GB X 1 G-Skill RipjawX 1600 MHz DDR3 @ 2.4K

Total: 29.1K

Intel Core i5 3470 - 12.3k
Corsair VS450 450 W - 2.4k
MSI Geforce GTX650 2GB DDR5 - 9.7k (or) Zotac GTX 650 Ti Boost - 13k

MSI Geforce GTX650 2GB DDR5 OR Zotac GTX 650 Ti Boost ...????

Skip MSI and get Zotac. MSI is officially closed in India. Also, Zotac offers additional 3 years warranty; totaling to 5 years.

^^+1 for Zotac

@ico: I think the question no 7 should also ask the OP for the brand/model no :mrgreen:

Don't get confused with the different versions of 650 cards. The standard GTX 650 is a low-mid end card, just a overclocked GTX 640 and it offers performance similarly to a HD 7750, no matter how much Ram you put into it. The performance starts from GTX 650 Ti, which is a altogether different card and offers performance higher than a HD 7770. The latest model is GTX 650 Ti Boost which is a stripped down GTX 660 and offers performance similar to a HD 7850. So get that card.

And regarding PSU, I don't know why anybody is ignoring the VS 450 recommendation? Corsair VS series PSUs are not as good as their other budget series like CX or GS series and they're released for only asian market. Get the Antec VP450 PSU I suggested earlier.

I am already having Intel Pentium G645.,.,.,., will it do my job or i hav to go for i5 3470 .. ??

Well, dual core CPUs are now a days not good at handling latest games.You need a good quad Core CPU or at least an i3 which offers HT.

don't you guys think the H61 mobo op has is not really upto the mark to handle quad core cpu - technically it can but still there may be some sort of issue with turbo anyway, if Op sticks with this mobo he better update the bios to the latest version for IB cpu support and if possible get an after market cpu cooler by selling the pentium g645.

I think it can handle the lower end Quad core processors. Many people I know using H61+ i5 2400/3470 configuration.

can anyone confirm that??
cause in their RMA page they mentioned the additional warranty as 3years total.
Whatever finance knowledge I have(correct me if I am wrong) that means default 2years & after resistering you get another 1year so total 3years.

for nonK processors many people are using with h61 so no problems there.

Recieved Gfx card and ordered Ram

congrats. post the model, price and source too

If you are getting i5 3470 make sure you have the 4013 BIOS atleast or better the 4305,in your mainboard. The only concern with H61 running an i5 is the VRM when gaming will run a tad warmer over the better heatsinked counterparts and you will miss the Turbo Boost.
