Almost all of the HD4xxx series have HDMI and DVI. The HD4650 is the best card I would recommend for that PSU.

Well for an ATI card the 4650 or 4670 falls close to your price range (here in the US), I don’t know what the price is in India.

[strike]As for drivers... unfortunately at the ATI website windows 2000 drivers only go up to the x850 series, driver version 6.12[/strike]

[strike]I’m not too familiar with older cards than the 4000 series and their capability for 1080 video output so someone else could help you with that.[/strike]

[strike]It seems your current version of windows is holding you back. Might want to think about upgrading it.[/strike]

He said he is using XP.
I would avoid an HD4670 with a 230 watt PSU. If it's a sketchy brand even the HD4650 may be pushing it but it will probably be ok. If you want to be totally safe go for an HD4550 or HD4350.

Your right i completely skipped over the XP part and just read it as windows 2002... my bad.
