Rather increase your budget and buy a gtx 960(16k). You won't regret it later. If you are so tight on budget buy away one of these
R9 270x around 13-14k
R9 265 around 11-11.5k
GTX 750TI around 10k
R7 260x around 9k

Thanks a lot for the prompt reply. I had read that 960 has issues running with FX 6300, plus the cost didn't make inclined towards it.

Increase budget and get GTX 960. Would be good at 1080p gaming for 3-4 years.

Wait for AMD 3 series GPU.They will come this month end or next month.

10-12k GPU will play with med setting at 1080p.

Check prices of 750ti and 270x at Arun computers,CTC. These 2 are good options for that price range.

For the given budget, R7 265 is the best option. But as others have suggested 960 is really VFM. If you can, increase the budget and get 960

Compare to 750 ti,R7 265 is slightly better but it draws more power compare to it.He have 450w PSU.Sapphire r7 265 recommended power is 500w.

Remember,With those cards expect 30-45fps at medium setting at 1080p...

VS450 can handle R7 265 coupled with FX6300. He might not be able to overclock it, but it'll work

Seems it will work.

According to this,Max GPU load is 144w and system load is 253w.Also check their test rig.

R7 265 has 5-8 fps gain over 750ti.

Go for Sapphire dual x R7 265.
