for 5000inr i think radeon HD 7730 or HD 6570 are the best option for you, anything over that is just too expensive. and yes they will work with Pcie 1.1 X16 without affecting performance.

EDIT: didnt notice that ypur budget was upto 7000inr, inm that case you can easily get a HD 7750 :D
 


Get Saphhire hd 7750 1gb ddr5 @rs 7000.It will easily work with your config and there will be no performance loss if you put in pci exp1.1.

This one:
2.Sapphire HD 7750 HDMI OC Edition 1 GB GDDR5 Graphic Card

Because its got GDDR5 (the xfx has much slower DDR3) and its a OC model, so theres a small speed boost there. Plus Sapphire are a good brand.

Yes the Asus is fine also.

The Nvidia 650 and 650 Ti would be comparable. again make sure they are DDR5. The 650 Ti is slightly better, but more expensive most likely.
