What card will perform best with my system?

[intel_g630]

My system configuration is

CPU - Intel Pentium G630 2.7GHz
Mobo- Gigabyte H61m S2P
RAM - 2GB

So I am planning to buy a graphics card, probably ATI 7750 or better. But I am concerned about whether the card will be able to run at max with such an useless CPU. The case is for some reason I cannot upgrade the CPU. So I need to know is that if the HD7750 or something better will be worth investing or will I have to buy something lower grade.

Just to know, which CPU will be the good combination with the cards I am planning to buy. Budget under Rs. 10000
or $190.

I'd say that the G630 and the 7750 are probably pretty well suited for each other. You would need to verify that your PSU can handle it though. for a 7750, probably at least 350 watts. Does 7750 need a PCI-E connector to provide extra power and does your PSU have such a lead?

what is your PSU? Your CPU isnt completely useless... what are you play? at what resolutions?

Your CPU will probably limit your fps, but I would still max out your gpu budget of Rs. 10000 assuming your PSU doesnt limit you. Or maybe get the 7750 and 2 more GB of RAM.

The 7750 doesnt need extra power so that wont be a problem with the PSU having the right connector/lead

First, get 4 GB of RAM, computer nowadays do that. If you can handle enough power supply, get the GTX 550 TI http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121435 and overclock it. If you cannot handle, get the HD 7750 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102969 but still overclock it. Although the HD 7750 only consumes 41W and the GTX 550 Ti consumes 107W, the GTX 550 TI if 20-30% more stronger than the HD 7750.

I recommend GTX 550 Ti

The HD7750 doesn't need an external connector. So my PSU is more than sufficient for it. Its 450w.

I today installed FIFA 13. It worked like ***, everything cartoon. I am a bit much irritated at my CPU. I just wish I could throw it away. By the way I need it for games like FIFA 13, Arkham Asylum, AC-Brotherhood. I am not a hardcore gamer so low to medium settings would do. But something that I can't seriously tolerate is lags and cartoon graphics.

And for my PSU, is the power of the PSU the input power or the output power? Its written 450W on the inside but I still am not sure of it.

As far as I know your G630 is a capable gaming cpu. The problem should be elsewhere.

What GPU can it I pair it up for max performance so that the CPU doesn't hold back the GPU's efficiency?
Mid range gaming. And I prefer amd for its low power consumption.
