Resolution

What do you expect from the card?

Games you plan to play?

How long do you expect this card to last at gaming?

Understand you won't be playing crysis....

What is your budget?

Do you know your wasting money on such a low power machine?

+ 1, the PSU's has low power, it probably wont power high end cards. And man you are so lucky. You have the 3.06GHZ P4 533MHZ FSB CPU that i need soo bad lol. But you might want to consider changing whole system because that is only a single core CPU. It'll cause a big bottleneck for newer cards and it wont preform good in games.

By "undercover" do you mean NFS Undercover? If sor your system will handle it and a GPU upgrade would help. I dunno about Fallout 3 tho.

I suggest you sell your system and get a new system for $500-$600 off of newegg.

Your PSU will be unable to run most GPUs. Your CPU is also somewhat a bottleneck.
And you can really upgrade the CPU since the dell mobo doesn't allow that (I believe), and you can't upgrade the mobo due to it being a BTX case

o, that's rupees in India...

He needs to get a cheap 400+ watt PSU (around $40 USD) and get a 4670

I know what indian currency is....it would be impossible to get a "get a new system for $500-$600 off of newegg. "

It was to note how BSOD managed to not read where he stated RS...

Albeit a 4670 will work for just about every game he wants to play...other then that....come on over to the us ;)
