Graphics Card at ~$150

[Thornyjohny]

My old 4350 has failed (possibly due to my overclocking), and now I'm looking for a new card at around $150, something that can run games at medium resolutions and settings. Here are my specs:

CPU: Pentium Dual Core E5500 (Wolfdale), 2.8GHz
Motherboard: ASUS P5QPL-AM
RAM: 2GB DDR2
PSU: 250W, came with the case 🙁

Should I get a better PSU, or any other component? I've seen the Radeon 7750 and the GT 640, can I run these with my current hardware?
Also, I can't buy from Newegg, because I'm in India. $150=~Rs.8000
Thank You.

PSu+ 7770 = best option but costs more money
no psu+ 7750= best option
psu + 550ti = bad option

What about the 6790? Yes, I know I just said I'll stick with the 7xxx series, but where does it stand against the 7750 and the 7770? PSU + 6790 seems to cost less than PSU + 7770.

thats because 6790 is weaker than 7770. it goes like this
7750<6790<7770

Just go for the 7750. Anything more than that I think your CPU will start to show bottlenecking. Save the money for the 7770 + PSU and same some for what I have stated up top because that's the cheapest good option. Good luck!

OK, what do you guys think about this:
GPU: Radeon HD 7750
RAM: +2GB DDR2 (Therefore a total of 4GB)
Should I get the Sapphire 7750 or the MSI 7750 OC?

Go Sapphire. The MSI one will get hotter because of two TINY fans and it's closed while the Sapphire one is open. Good luck!
