I will suggest you to buy APC 1.1KVA Ups as the GTX580 is power hungry card.Price rs 4.4K+vat

Everything depends on the backup time required. Let OP mention it first.

^^I have purchase APC 1.1KVA ups in spite of having microtek 800VA because when playing game like battlefield bad company 2 with c2de7300 and MSI GTX560Ti TFII OC microtek ups unable to take load when power is off, it restart every time.NOTE-GTX560Ti is more hungry than ur 6950.So APC 1.1KVA UPS is recommended for GTX580 based system.

Back up time some 5 to 10 minutes will be fine my budget is around 7k but tell me if the gtx 580 will be ok with corsair tx 750 v2 or corsair tx 850 v2

I think 750 would be sufficient. For UPS get what Tenida has suggested.
