AMD does not have any more problems with drivers than Nvidia and works just as well with Intel! Not knowing the prices on your market the GTX650ti is a good card but so are similar performing AMD cards. http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ASUS/GeForce_GTX_650_Ti_Direct_Cu_II/28.html

dude im glad ur available ,the thing is i got a hd 7850 2gb sapphire im satisfied,but the processor i bought is unfortunately amd fx 4100 quad black edition,im going to shop to replace it with which other amd processor should i replace ,that would be ideal for gaming ...plz asap

fx4170 or fx4300 both are better CPU's because of higher clock speed. Here is a chart but missing the new FX x3xx series http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-cpu-review-overclock,3106-5.html
If you are replacing I suggest one of the other a FX4300 or FX8320 since they are updated more power efficient version but you could always overclock your 4100.

shop keepr said he will replace it with 6100 with a difference amount of 1k rupees ,is that 5n is it good??

The 6100 is actually worse at gaming than the 4100 at std clocks.

Or you can also get a HD 7770 if you want a newer graphics card

Add 2000 Rupees and get a HD 6870 or if you are strictly in a budget get a 6850.

The FX has an unlocked multiplier and all you need to do is raise it in BIOS but you will have to monitor temps and for bigger overclock you need an aftermarket cooler.
