I really don't think the rest of my machine would have any problem.

I would crank the ram to faster speed or capacity (buy faster ram if possible)

imo i would say a 6870. under $200, my wife's pc is a 965BE with this card and she runs everything... even with same ram

I have an HD5850 and it can play the game on High at around 30-50 fps, and the HD6850 is a little weaker than that, so anything below a 6850 probably won't be playable on High above 30 fps. If you can get one, a 6850 should handle any game well, where as the others will struggle at higher settings.

So I have make my mind for the GPU, 6850 is better then 6850 it is. Now recommend the brand there are these brands available in the market. HIS, XFX, Gigabyte, MSI. I have used HIS, MSI and XFX. XFX seemed solid to me in quality and performance, what about gigabyte?

If it uses the stock cooler, it does not make a difference what brand you take.

None of em has stock cooler, sapphire has brand name for ATI cards like EVGA for nVidia but this brand is not available in local market. Gigabyte's dual fan cooler attracts.

If gigabyte is the only one with dual fans, get that.

Hookay Jesus, Gigabyte it is. I ll go for Gigabyte model of 6850. That's all folks, Many many thanks to all guys contributed in this thread. TPU has been always very helpful for me in decision making.
