yes i planned to buy hd7750 but i am not sure wheather my psu will support it or not .And i dont want to upgrade my psu .So i am searching for a decent gpu which can
on which i can play games like gta4,assain creed,just cause2,nfs shift,etc at medium settings.
 

I had given you suggestion already.
HD 6570. It's better than the GT240 and consumes less power too.

Like Greghome said, it should automatically detect the dedicated GPU once placed in the PCIe slot.

If it doesn't, then you can change it in from BIOS. I don't remember in which section though, but you'll be able to find it.

But nevertheless, it should automatically detect the card.

The system is working when i remove hd 5670.But when i insert it and run it is not booting.The system is restarting automatically.I just changed the primary display in bios from pci to pcie.The system is not working even befor i changed it to pcie.
 
CPU restarting, could mean the PC being under powered. But that 400W should have been enough. Either that, or the PSU is just isn't good enough

Did you make sure that the PCIe slot is not filled with dust or anything of that sort. Do you hear any sorts of beeps coming out from the CPU? Or does it only restart.

No i havent brought another psu.I brought hd 5670 so that it wont be necessary to buy a new psu. I dont have enough money to buy.But my psu should support this card as u said right.Why it is not supporting?
 

The PSU must be weaker than I expected. It might not be able to deliver 400W of power, or even close to 300-350.
Save some cash, and later on buy a better PSU. Do not buy PSUs from iBall, Frontech or any other generic brands no matter how much power they have rated. It's best you buy a PSU from reputable brands like Corsair, Antec, Seasonic, XFX etc. I'd put Coolermaster, somewhere in between them.
