I am using the old Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 @ 2.8 GHz and 2 GB ram.
I am thinking to buy corsair Vengeance 8GB RAM soon..
Which will be the best graphic card to play games like PES 2014, BF 3/4 etc
And also suggest a good graphic for my system with the present 2GB ram also.
Thanx

As long as your board has a PCI-E x16 graphics slot, it is compatible. The GTX 750ti is about even with an HD 7850 but doesn't require an external PCI-E connector as its power requirements are quite low. It gets all its power from the PCI-E slot. Only one I have seen with one was a special overclocked one from Evga with a non reference cooler.

HD 7770 is a decent card, it will be good enough to play PES 2014 at good speed, but i think you wont get good speed in current configuration.
Increasing ram is good idea, but i think the Cpu is old and it will bottleneck gpu.
You can try this link to view projected performance of your system.

So my current system (2GB RAM) will work on Radeon 7770 and i will be able to play PES 2014 at good speed??
So that i can upgrade my RAM later.
Actually m gonna upgrade my whole CPU but not enough cash at the moment so saving will require a lot of time

actually geforce gtx 650 is also a great choice..........
and to change cpu to modern generation cpu, you have to change your mobo also because core2duo uses the old LGA 775 socket, and currently LGA 1150 & LGA 1155 socket are being used. so you have to find a new mobo also which can support the new gen. cpus.........else if you want to continue old mobo due to budget limitations, you will have only one choice thats is core2quad processor....... but subject to motherboard support...... what is your current configuration (motherboard model, power supply,etc.) i can suggest you better if you will tell your current specs & current budget :bounce:

you can see the current Zotac GTX 650Ti price here http://www.flipkart.com/zotac-nvidia-gtx-650-ti-1gb-1-gb-gddr5-graphics-card/p/itmdez49ptzu4g7e?pid=GRCDEZ49PTZU4G7E&srno=b_3&ref=ee4cb726-d313-4a66-b2cb-d28ef30432dc and you can see that you are getting huge discount on that used piece, so it will be great deal......and gtx 650 ti is very good performance card that will be good enough to play modern games at decent speed & resolution.......you can see its reviews also on flipkart, you will get idea which type of games you can play by using it.

as far as Cpu upgrade is concerned, i wont be able to suggest you that much. but i think you will likely have a G41 motherboard, that will support core2quad processors. (only my thought)

you should check what psu wattage it is, it will probably be enough but best to make sure. and you might need a 6 or 8 pin power connector from the psu.

That iball power supply cant run it for atleast 6months??
Coz by that time i would have upgraded almost my whole pc
So that i can go for a good 750w psu..
Can it run efficiently for atleast 6months??
If not shall i go for Corsair cx500w..??
Ive read reviews that the corsair cx series is not good enough but its the one that suits my budget..
I can upgrade my psu again later on but this time my budget is quite low..
SO, what should i go for??

no way at all, that power supply can damage your motherboard,processor & even the whole system due to overloading......... i have experience of it..... i also have the i ball power supply with 400 watts & the gpu was showing minimum power supply of 350watts so i plugged my gpu and after 2 days suddenly the computer hanged and sparks were coming out from socket....... i immediately switched of the system. then i changed the power supply to new one which was 550W and certified (gold certified) and every thing worked fine............. the old psu failed because of overload on +12V rail........ the gpu required mnimum 18 amps on +12v rail and mine was 17 only.........so always buy certified PSU with at least 28-32 amps on +12V rail........because i have seen many power supplies with greater then 500w but they have very less amps on the +12v rail.......and also they dont have the necessary power connectors to power up gpu (such as 6 pin or 8 pin)............now a days gpu require these connectors......so also keep an eye on these elements also.......... I think your i ball psu is not enough for the Gpu. it can damage your system........

better to be safe and buy a new PSU with these features:

-> Minimum 80% efficiency
-> Certified
-> Having atleast 28-32A on +12v Rail
-> Having External GPU connector
