I want to play games like max payne 3 , battlefield 3 at ultra high settings with 1920*1080 resolution....

My current config is:
AMD PHENOM II X4 945 3.0 GHz
2X2 GB (4 GB) crosair DDR3 RAM
Asrock M3A785GXH/128M motherboard
256 MB integrated video( Graphic ) memory ...
ZEBRONICS 480 WATT SATA Plus (20+4 Pin) ...

I went through a lot of websites, benchmark and reviews , and i found that HD 7850 2GB is the best buy for a BUDGET of RS.16000 ...

will this support my system config ???
HD 7850 requires a p/s of 500 Watt but i have a p/s of 480 Watt , is it ok if i use the p/s ???

i am open to suggestion for a better graphic card at RS.16000 ...
Thank you in advance

480 WATT smps ...

First and the foremost, if you are creating a thread asking for a new graphic card you HAVE to mention the EXACT company, make and model of your Power Supply (SMPS). Specifications would be helpful too.

"i have a 400w power supply" --- this is wrong.
"i have a 400w power supply from Corsair" --- this is again wrong.

"i have Corsair CX400 power supply" --- this is right.

Replace the Power supply with a Corsair CX500V2 power supply..

Buy these:

Corsair CX500v2 @ 3.1K.
HD 7850 2 GB = 15K.

Power Supply change is a must.

Buddy You dont need that much huge GPU for playing such games...

But you have a great budget so you can buy them

No Doubt you can play all the games but
you can take a cheaper GPU

Nvidia GTX 550 TI is a great choice.

Or,
HD7850 @15K
Corsair GS600 @4K

P.S. Your PSU is cr@p and actually a 200Watt PSU at max.

No need to go for GS600, just go with ico's suggestion, you'll be fine.

^^ GS600 will let Op OC his cpu and GPU ( in future ) if he needs.

@ OP - your total budget is 16k for PSU+GPU both ? or you can extend it ?

my budget for GPU is RS.16000 ...
my budget for PSU is RS.4000 (or as low as possible , but i do need good quality)

k. you have the budget for PSU as well.

Then pick up Corsair GS600 or Seasonic S12II 520w.

GPU = HD 7850 2GB. Best in that price segment.

+1 for HD7850(15,200) + GS600 (around 4k i guess)

Your motherboard supports the HD 7850, no worries. It even supports 3-way Xfire.

GS600 is enough to handle your entire config along with HD7850 just fine and if you need it will let you OC cpu and gpu both .

Battlefield 3 at 1080p @ High with GTX 550 Ti?? Not possible.

Yup its possible if you turn off msaa and fxaa. My overclocked 5750 gives me 25-30fps @ 1080p( my 32 inch tv) and believe me, the game is still quite a looker. But all sorts of AA has to be turned off. Everything set to high and not ultra.

550ti is powerful than my 5750 isn't it??

25 fps is unplayable in an online game.

25 fps is unplayable in an online game.

I guess consoles too produce 25-30 fps and definitely not more. Still people do play these titles over xbox live and psn. If they can,then pc gamers can as well.

But yeah 550-ti is underpowered ( so is my card) for playing bf3 at its full glory.

another vote for 7850+gs600.
Offtopic : with my rig i got avg 30 fps in almost every map but in some map it went to avg 20 fps. (at 1080, all max with aa on,single player). Man i hate to play games bellow 30 fps !!

^^ are you suer ? these charts are saying something different :

Battlefield 3 VGA and CPU performance benchmark test
Battlefield 3 VGA and CPU performance benchmark test

are you talking about BF3 ultra settings ?? even my HD6850 is struggling to play it at 1080p resolution with ultra settings - the most playable setting for me is High setting.
