Ok, listen up, I did not say that your system is not going to bottleneck the gtx 750, in fact it will to some extent. Their is basically no modern card that your system will not bottleneck and the games you want to play are very cpu intensive. Your ram is also too low, you need a minimum if 4gb for those games. I suggested the 750 because it offers the best bang for buck about 8.5k compared to the R7 260X which is about 11k or so and they perform relatively close and the 750 will put less strain on your crappy power supply

What the guy on the other forum meant is that if you where to get the R7 260X you would need a 6 pin molex converter since your power supply doesn't have one to power the card

I will say this again, I strongly suggest you just save up and buy a complete new system or get the gtx 750/750ti or R7 260X (whatever makes you happy) and deal with the bottleneck and maybe add components slowly from their on

I am not getting angry and I will help you in the best way I can

Don't know where you are going to buy your stuff from but I see that snapdeal had it cheaper, http://. I am not from india so I don't know which dealer is reliable. But looking at the chart posted above you can see that the gtx 750 performs roughly the same as the R7 260X and is cheaper. The 750ti also has a slight edge over the 260X but is a bit more expensive

Thanks for your help brother, really really this was helpful but can you check this out please - fps of games with both cards and after reviewing them please tell me you final choice 750 or 750 ti, if the boost in performance of games with 750 ti worth for 1.5k extra:

750 ti - http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GT-750M-SLI.91280.0.html
750 - http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GT-750M.90245.0.html

Last question, How much will the bottlenecking decrease the performance by as per FPS AND percentage?

That's the notebook version of the card. If you need to check the performance look here, http://
Take note that the performance is going to be significantly lower on your system due to your cpu.

1000 rupees is approximately $17 which is not that much considering you get a faster card with more memory. If that's the difference then I would take the 750ti over the 750
 
just save money buy a new pc and resale the old one if possible and keep your budget at least around 40 k INR without including monitor , ups, keyboard and mouse... 40 k pc is caled a budget pc now a days...... gtx 750 ti is a good card but i will suggest u to increase your budget of gpu by 1000 rs and buy a gtx 660 its better than 260x or 750ti in every ways............. buy an amd fx 6300 and any motherboard compatible with amd processor buy atleast 4 gb of ram and u can always upgrade that later buy a good case or pc cabinet wich have atleast 1 intake fan in front and 1 exhaust fan at rear and top ,smps 500 - 550 watt of psu would be enough for u but not local brands they are crappy buy brands like corsair,coolermaster ,sesonic, antec etc..

I can't really quantify that without some real world tests but it can be as much as 50% loss in performance or more
Check this chart out, http://
Your cpu sits right at the bottom, not good. Older games would work fine but newer games will be held back

If you can find a cheap core 2 quad Q9650,Q9550 and if your motherboard supports it then that could help alleviate the bottleneck a bit

By 50%!!!!! OH no man! I don't know wha to do?????? Totally confused.. :(


 
it may,, thats why i told u to do a full system upgrade in the 1st place and if u want to install an amd processor u need an amd socket compatible mobo otherwise the processor will not fit..... your motherboard is an intel compatible board so if u want an amd processor u have to change ur motherboard also...
