My system config-
CPU - core 2 duo e7400 @ 2.8 ghz
Ram-8gb ddr3
Mob- gigabyte ga g41m combo rev 1.3
Gpu- a nvidia gt 210 which is died recently planning to buy new one

Hlo, I m bit confused whether I buy a Asus gtx 650 ( non ti ) which cost me around $60 (4000 Indian rupees) or I should buy a core 2 quad q6600 with nvdia gt 730 1gb ddr5 which will costs me around $67 I just want to play modern games at low- mid settings with HD monitor (1366x768 resolution) which combo suits best for gaming
Core 2 duo e7400 with Asus gtx 650 or core 2 quad q6600 with gt 730 1gb ddr5 ?

yes. maybe upgrade the CPU later.
the thing with q6600 is that it's 2,6GHz and your mother board does not support overclocking as far as i remember.
So some games will run better on your slightly higher clocked C2D

Core 2 duo will break under these games.
You'd need a quad core and then you'd need to compromise on graphics settings.

730 comes in Fermi (96 core)/Kepler (384 cores) variant, make sure you get the right one otherwise performance will be terrible.
