in that price point nothing is better than palit HD4850 for about 9.2k to 9.5k....and sorry to say nothing from nvidia or evga ! anything u will get in that price point from nvidia or evga will not be worth since HD4850 is about 20% faster than any card in that range

u will need to change ur PSU (smps) for any card u buy atleast CM500W is recommended but i would suggest to go for corsair vx450 ...even if u don't play high end games it doesn't hurt to buy the best VFM card out there !specially when u can afford it !
