ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
A local retailer is offering an Asus NVidia GeForce 650 Ti 2GB for 9,250INR. Is that a good price?

I'm upgrading my PSU as well. A friend suggested this one:
Corsair CMPSU-430CXV2UK 430 Watts PSU

Also, I noticed this card that has 4GB memory. How is it compared to the 650 Ti or 7770?
PowerColor AMD/ATI Radeon HD 7750 4 GB DDR3 Graphics Card

The 7770 and 650 Ti are faster then a 7750.That's a good power supply to upgrade to so no worries there bud.Yes that's a fair price for the asus 650 ti go for it.

yes that's a very good deal on the 650 Ti but i would try getting the 650 Ti Boost (much better value for money, ask the same guy if he has it), and ur PSU is not of a very good quality so get the one u selected, its good, also 4GB memory is of no use if u're playing on a single monitor with a card of that range

But it's only 1 GB. Is there any big difference between the 1 GB one and the 2 GB one?
Also, I've upgraded to the 64 bit version of Windows 7.

AA is Anti-Aliasing right? I won't be having more than one monitor. So I think I'll get the 1 GB one. Thanks :)

the total wattage of a PSU is not a deciding factor, total continuous current on +12V Rail is more important, the PSU u selected is a CX430, right? That has enough power, manufacturers generally put requirements higher than what is required by the card because there are numerous low quality PSUs available on the market that cannot really provide the output for which thy're rated

So I got the PSU installed and the 650 Ti Boost installed. But I smell some kind of smell from the cabinet. Is this just a 'new' smell or should I be worried?

Okay, I get the smell whenever I play any games for at least 20 minutes.
MY GPU is at 45C on idle but goes upto 80C while playing a game.

Also this doesn't happen for all games. Only newer games like Far Cry 3. I can run Arkham City perfectly without any problems.
