I was thinking something of 75 $

Intel Core I3 2.9 GHZ OC @ 3.3 GHZ

3 GB DDR3 1333 MHZ

ATI HD 4650 1GB DDR2

250 GB HDD

What cpu and power supply do you have?

Consider the much faster and more efficient HD7750.

The HD7750 doesn't require any pci-e power cables.

Yeah 7750 is a better card but in my country the 7750 is almost 50 $ more expensive then the 6670

Looking at your specs and response to Geekapproved about the price, I'd say the 6670 is the card to get. It should suit you well and stay within your budget.

I think it's well worth the extra $50.
