Well, for people who have to buy GPU (graphic Cards, it is the heart of a gaming system I have seen many stupids that get an i7 and expect it to even start up crisis or any game that is even current generation and fail miserably) in, Here are my recommendations, (Will be updated every month or so), THE MAIN THINS THAT THE INDIAN BUYERS ARE THROWN OFF BY COMAPNIES IS THE AMOUNT OF GDDR RAM IN A GPU, RAM HAS AMOST NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PERFORMANCE IT IS JUST USED TO LOAD TEXTURES AND 1GB RAM IS MORE THAN ENOUGH EVEN FOR 1080P GAMING (FULL HD) {these are just tips and if you don't trust me do your own research and I'm not responsible if you come crying back here, I am completely open to give answers to questions and advice but buying a GPU is completely your choice}
(1)<Rs 5000 - go blindly with AMD Radeon 6670, it is slightly old but still, this the best GPU available around or less than 5k in India, it can handle games at mid setting at 720p but would not support AAA games (EXTREME HIGH END LIKE CRYSIS SERIES), none others are even worth mentioning, still please save more buy a higher end card (but hey! it's India) Here is the link to flipkart..

(2)Rs 5000-10000, on the AMD Side get r7 260(not X), but the problem is that it is not available readily in India so it is far better to get AMD Radeon 7770..on the Nvidia side, it's equivalent is 650 ti, but it is above 10k so if you want to stick with nvidia, get 650, (not recommended)SO THE WINNER HERE IS HD 7770..here is the link

(3)Rs 10000 to Rs 15000, now here is where it gets really interesting..the real battle has begun! Well, just 6-7 months ago, 650 ti boost was the king here but nvidia has basically discontinued it ,but they have dropped the price GTX 660,It is this GPU that revolutionized PC gaming worldwide, just a few years back, you wouldn't have been able to play high end games on a sub $200 card, and now you can thrash any game that you like..I highly recommend you to go for it..if you want to get AMD (not recommended), your only viable choices are 7850 and R9 270(not X), but it is highly not recommended to buy AMD at this range..Here is the link to GTX 660 (seriously get it while you can it will never get better than this)
http://www.flipkart.com/zotac-nvidi...=660&ref=236e81d3-2894-4154-aef7-11747168148f
(4)15000-20000, now you are entering the ultra high end (still not A BEAST), Here, the nvidia card, latest GTX760 is the clear winner many games will be optimised and you will get true "NVIDIA" experience, is their flagship GPU (mid-high end) right now... your other choice that is 660 ti is not worth the price...NOW on the AMD side, 7870 is a very good competitor here, it is going neck and neck with 760 and thrashes it on AMD optimised games like BF3,BF4,etc..You can buy either you won't really go wrong, here the 7870 is cheaper as it is last generation. The only other AMD card (worth buying)is R9 280 which either not readily available or too costly for performance. You can also buy R9270x, it is just 5-8% faster but it supports mantle..but it is 2000 more expensive than 7870 so no go here..Here are the links

HERE, ABOVE Rs. 20,000 PEOPLE DON'T REQUIRE GUIDANCE AS EITHER THEY ARE too stubborn or true pc enthusiast, extremely less no of people in India is also a major factor, HAPPY BUYING...
