So i am planning to upgrade my system with a 1 GB graphics card of zotac.
I have two products in my mind

plz suggest me which one is best for my system.

and if u have something better in this range. plz tell me..
 
If you plan on upgrading the video card to a 630, make sure it's the Kepler version as that has a much lower power requirement.
From the link you put in, the system only has a 180 watt power supply which makes it almost impossible to put in a video card that can do much more than play online HD video.

Read this http://beforeitsnews.com/science-and-technology/2013/11/introducing-the-new-nvidia-geforce-gt-630-with-384-cuda-cores-2651712.html

If you get the old version, you could end up with a non-working system as it won't be able to power the add-one video card. Even that new GT630 which uses 25watts may end up stressing your system as the power supply is pretty weak. It should work with the new GT630, but the old 630 will almost certainly cause crashes if it even starts up.

actually i have updated my psu with 450 watt psu...


 


Then don't get either card, get a Radeon 6670, it's a lot faster and is almost the same price. Especially for this DDR5 version, a much better buy for you. http://www.flipkart.com/sapphire-amd-ati-radeon-hd-6670-1gb-ddr5-graphics-card/p/itmdfygjystmyqrx?pid=GRCDFYGJGKEGHRDQ&ref=e5e57486-d106-469d-9f78-6523cc4ab708
