Upgrading GPU from Gt430 to 7750

[akshayghai29785]

My Config is:

CPU-i5-760
MOBO:GA-H55M-D2H(PCIE 2.0)
PSU-Local Iball
RAM-Kingston High value 1333

Kindly suggest for GPU upgrade will 7750 or Gtx 650 run on its full potential on PcieX16. or should i go gor crossfire of 7750x4 7750X4??

No worries. It's actually a moot point. For the GTX 690 to fully saturate the PCI-2.x bus, it's frames rates and performance is generally so high that that FPS loss in unnoticeable.

Answering the questions

Iball local PSU is 400w local PSU no other details are mentioned on the PSU.

Been in india it was late night so late replies

Why i thought i would not run on its full potential was as the card is PCIe-3 whereas my board in is PCIe-2 x16

Upgrading the PSU & 7770 is costing around 15000 INR whereas 7750 is costing 7500 INR & 7850 is 21000 INR

I am tight on budget

Well then, your safest course of action is to just get a HD7750. You'll be able to play most games on medium to high settings, with no AA.
If you can afford to replace your PSU, you will increase your graphics card options considerably, if not now, then in the future when you can afford it. Look for something with full range active PFC (no little voltage switch but operates on 90VAC-240VAC) and some level of 80+ certification. Seasonic, Antec, Corsair, XFX, FSP, and Enermax/LEPA are among the better brands. You do not want Thermaltake, CM or any cheap Chinese junk. You'd want 500W-600W.

You also really don't want Raidmax and DiabloTek

Those would be examples of cheap Chinese junk. Apevia, Coolmax, Sunbeam...the list is too long to enumerate. Stick to a quality brand.
