I am using GT520, is it worth upgrading to SAPPHIRE HD 6570 1GB DDR3 for gaming.

Should I go for upgrade with SAPPHIRE HD 6570 1GB DDR3 or buy any new model.

And does SAPPHIRE HD 6570 1GB DDR3 is good for avg. gaming, If not then please suggest some budget GPU.

I wouldn't go with that card, since it's kind of old, its price is going up due to rarity.
Maybe a r7 240? that's a bit more up-to-date.
Not sure how well it performs though.
A few questions:
What is your budget?
A what resolution do you play?
At what kind of settings do you want to play?
What kind of games do you play?
At what framerate do you want to play your games?

Sorry for the high number of questions.

I have overclocked MSI Nvidia GT520 memory clock to 800 and graphic clock to 1000 and processor to 2000, Running MK Komplete at medium settings with 55-65 FPS. Is this overclocking can run NFS RUN at low setting.

Does this card needs Power supply to replace, I am on a basic Power Supply. If power supply upgrade needed then, please suggest some SMPS.

It doesn't use external power from the PSU, just from the motherboard.
So I think you're good ;)

I am using GT520 with slightly OC and the GPU having 80-90C (while playing battle field 4) on full load and 35-40C on no load , Maximum temperature rated in 102C, is it okay or I have to change the GPU fan as stock fan got faulty and I replaced it with similar sized fan(PIII CPU Fan) from scrap.

Fans rating were equivalent , no idea about RPM so forced to 100% fan speed.
