3.Corsair Vengeance 8 GB DDR3 RAM
4.PSU Corsair VS 650Watt
Standard Wireless Mouse and keyboard.
6.CoolerMaster Elite 311 CASE.
Thanks for helping.
Budget around 120-200$

The VS lineup from Corsair isn't great, so that would limit your options - ideally, I'd suggest replacing it too, but given the budget, that may not be feasible.

An FX8350, unfortunately, are fairly weak cores. I wouldn't look to pair anything stronger than an RX570 / 3GB 1060 with it, personally.

A 4GB 570 can be had for ~$130 with two free games.

If yes and no why please tell it clearly and also I want to save this card for any future new build of my pc. Budget $600 in future.
Thanks for helping

It should, yes.

Stronger than I would pair with that system but, with an eye on a future upgrade, it should be fine. It's quite power hungry to run on such a basic PSU....

Where did you budget come from though? At "$120-$200" you're talking under 14,000 Rupees..... Yet you're looking at a card for 18,200..... Roughly $265 USD

I can spend at least 18000 Rupees that's my limit but you are saying i have a weak power supply so i am not taking any chances of component damage so what will you prefer me i like to play games above 30 fps and also 1366x768 resolution.
