will this run on my system nicely?......
my monitor resolution is 1440x900....I'm aiming to play games like battlefield 4 and cod ghosts.....so should I get this or should I get an hd 7750 ..... here's the link.....these are the only 2 in my budget!

then as long as you stay clear of games like bf4 and cod ghost your system will play games with a 650 or 7750... for that build i would say the 650 is the better option as its about 15% stronger. you may need to oc the cpu a little to get the best from it, but even at 2.4 the performance should be decent... just dont bother with the 2 gig version as its over priced and comparatively under performs.
the problem for bf3/4 isnt the gfx card that will work fine. its the cpu. frostbyte engine needs a quad core to run smoothly. on a dual core your fps will bounce from 5 to 50 fps constantly because it doesnt have the required threading capabilities due to the lesser core count.
you really do need a quad core for bf3/4
cod ghost has been hardware limited to need 6 gigs of ram even though it barely uses 3.5. this was a snide trick on activisions part that was meant to fool the end user into thinking the game was much more demanding than it actually is... basically tell them it requires 6 gigs of ram and they will think the game will be a much higher fidelity product than it actually is.

the 650 is marginally better than the 7750 and both will run the monitor well enough. but like i say its time to upgrade the cpu to a quad core and maybe consider 2x4gigs of ram.

ok dude....but the problem is that my budget is limited to only rs.7500 and I have to get a graphics card, since my hd 5450 is a crappy card.....it can barely play games nicely.....so, I can't upgrade to a quad core.....I'm okay with 25+ fps.....
