If u can spend 4-5 K,then go for Palit HD 4670,it is best in that price and way better than 9400GT and HD 2600pro.

Palit HD 4670 512 DDR3 is for as low as 4.3k.
If u can stretch it to 5.2k, then Palit 9600GT is there, but ull need a PSU upgrade for the 9600GT.

Else HD4670 for 4.8k

such PSUs wil cost u min of 2k.
nyways, open ur chassis and look for the PSU specification bout the wattage and the voltage on 12v rail.
i think 9600GT need min of 24A on +12v rail.
and also check for a 6 pin power connector from the PSU. U can also use twin molex to 6 pin which usually comes with such cards.

Hello Guys... I need a good graphics card in the price range of 3.5-4k... Even if I get one for this price, will I be able to even think of playing games like Crysis, Far Cry 2, UT3 etc?.... Or is it just a Far Cry for me with this slim budget?... Please reply...

A 9500 Gt can handle Cyrsis, Far Cry 2 at lower resultion (1024 x 768) with low-mid settings. 1gb is wasted on 9500 gt go for cheaper 256 /512 mb. GTA 4 needs Quad core CPU for decent performance.

@dextervardhan
GTA4 shud work at medium setings.
get a 9500GT DDR3 version, either 256 or 512[acc to budget]. Always remember, 256 DDR3 is better than 512 DDR2. It comes for 3~3.5k
If u have 4.2 grands, then 4670 512 ddr3 will be much better.

HD4650 performance is between 9500 gt and 9600 gt. HD4850 is a beast in comparison. Its lot faster than 9600 GT but expensive n power hungry as well.
