below are my system details..
CPU ->> 4000+ AMD dual core

i would go for the 4850 512 or 1gb depending on your budget ofc....

but before you buy it make sure your psu can supply enough power, 400watt sounds a bit low to me.

hope this helped.

(happy new year btw)

Zhemin,
thanks fr the reply,though i hv said tht i dont want a DX11 card fr nw. DX11 cards when more cards from ATI come out and fermi from nvidia gets released. so plz choose any one from these considering the temperatures & costs ofcourse.. 400 watt psu is enough for a HD 4770 or HD 4670 or even HD 5750. so plz help me choose a better starter card.
thanks

ATI themselves actually recommend a 450watt or greater PSU for the hd 4850

PSUs that come with a case, other than Antec Earthwatts, tend to be the worst sort of overrated garbage. As such, the only cards I could be confident you might run safely without a PSU upgrade are the HD4670s, maybe a HD4770 IF your PSU includes a PCIE power connector; I wouldn't use an adapter because your PSU probably wouldn't have enough amps on its +12V rail anyway.
Otherwise, another perspective to consider is, pick the cheapest one that will meet your needs. Given the relatively low resolution of your monitor, unless you are also planning to replace that, I believe you would be quite content with the performance of a HD4670. The cheapest one, #6, would be fine, as the greater memory of #5 and #7 isn't needed for your resolution.
