First, adding a bunch of question marks doesn't make anyone answer faster.
You might wanna pick up 2gb more ram, just make sure it's the same type as the stuff you have now. Like i said, the 4670 has no dx11 capabilities, for that, you need a 5xxx series card. A 5570 or 5670 are both good choices.
 
The HD4770 is much faster than the HD4670 and the HD4670 is much faster than the HD5450. DX11 isn't a big deal yet and likely wont be until new consoles that support it are released so I wouldn't really worry about it. If you are on a tight budget just go for the best performing card you can afford.

thanks guys!! It really helps coz i was actually making mistake of buying 5450! Instead ill opt for 4670 for budget! Just one last thing will 2+2 gb ddr3 ram be shown on my windows 7(32bit)?? Or if low on cash will 2gb ddr3(1+1) manage to work enough??? Ive heard it does nt support 4gb!plz clear this too buddies!!! Plz dont mind coz im a newbie to all this

in short whats the best combo ram on windows 7 (32bit) with my hd 4670 card and core i3 2100???
(2gb+2gb) 4gbddr3 or (1gb+1gb) 2gb ddr3 work smoothly for gaming??? coz im low on cash
 
Go for the 4gb if you can afford it. In 32-bit Windows you wont be able to use all 4, it will show up as something between 3gb and 3.5gb but it is still worth it as you really should have over 2gb for gaming.

for a budget build, forget about dx11 get a 4870 off ebay for like 80 bucks or less... If you are a student with a .edu email address then microsoft will sell you win 7 pro for 60 dollars I believe, that how i got my copy, its a good deal

you'd be better off with the 4670. A 4870 requires an external connector, so you should stick with a 4670, 5570, or 5670. The 5670 is the best, and the 4670 is right below the 5570.
 



yeah I guess you are right, I didnt realize the OP was not going to be buying a reliable psu.... in that case like this dude said get a 4670 or 5670
