Need to modify my existing machine

[adi3433]

Configuration of existing machine :-
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E7400 @ 2.80GHz
Samsung 320 GB Hard Drive
4GB DDR2 RAM
450watt Of PSU
Intel DG41RQ Motherboard

now I want to modify my machine to a gaming PC so plz suggest which of the hardware components should I change or add it into my machine .My budget is
(10,000.00 INR ) 160 USD

Well, if you want to build a gaming rig from this machine, you need a GPU and that's honestly all that's missing. My suggestion for a 160 buck price point is this: (Since I cant see where you are located, ill guess based on the currency you posted).

HD 7790 Ghost Edition 1gb 10850.00INR

That's the best card you will get in your area at that budget, that will bring you up to a gaming rig levels and should work with your current setup. The biggest problem is going to be your PSU next, the card recommends (According to newegg and XFX) a 450 watt PSU, however based on your specs, you should keep below the PSU's threshold because you have a 450watt so even under load with that card you will be fine.

160 USD isn't much. If you want to play games at all, spend that much money on a GPU (as above).

OK. suppose if I will get one will it be compatible with my motherboard (intel DG41RQ ) and can you suggest me few more options

 

[adi3433]

After doing lots of re-search I found that my motherboard (intel DG41RQ ) is having PCI Express slot of Revised version 1.1 let me know that does it support 3.0 ver of GPU. or not.If Yes then does it effect the performance of GPU or not.And plz suggest few Graphic Cards which works perfectly with my current configuration.

4.XFX ATI Radeon R 7750 1 GB DDR5 Graphics Card

If I were picking one of those 4, I would get the top one.

1.XFX R 7750 2GB DDR3 AMD Radeon Graphic Card

 

[LNCPapa]

My only concern with getting that top one (though it looks like the best of the four) is if you ever need to act on the warranty. XFX is notorious for hanging people out to dry when they try to use their warranties.

I can if you wish, however at your budget, the problem is you wont get as good a GPU for that money on an NVidia card vs getting a AMD card. In the low to medium range, theres almost no competition for price to performance. Even at the high end the same can be said, most stores say "NVidia is better" based on years in the past (Like 5 years ago) or just based on higher price means better. But heres a suggestion:

Asus GTX 650Ti 1gb
http://www.amazon.in/GTX650TI-DC2O-...e=UTF8&qid=1386080088&sr=8-3&keywords=GTX+650

That's the best NVidia card you can get for the money, but compared to the HD 7790, heres where the performance lies:

GTX 650ti
http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu.php?gpu=GeForce+GTX+650+Ti

HD 7790
http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu.php?gpu=Radeon+HD+7790

Now if were comparing the GTX 650ti to the HD 7750 like you saw, the 650ti is a better card. I don't remember what site you used before so I guessed based off of amazon in site.

I would TRY to get a 7770 over a 7750 if at ALL possible.
