Some are postponing their graphic card purchase. Hoping to get a better deal. If you're not in a hurry, you may even want to wait for sometime. Else, you can get GTX 960...

^^ 960 ? for 70k budget? cut costs everywhere and put a gtx 1070 for gaming.

Wait for a few weeks for gtx 1070 to arrive.

I expect it will cost at least 35k. In this budget, we can only hope to get GTX 9xx. 70k may seem like a lot, but that includes lot of components which he wants to buy. Monitor already took a cut (he wanted 24") to fit 960, and didn't include speaker yet, mouse/kb are just basic. At current market price, even 970 is tough to make the list.

Yeah, at least for the sake of price drop of 900 series we should wait.

Don't expect gtx 1070 to cost anything less then 40k

Thank you for all your replies. Since I need to get the whole dough i.e. (Pc config, Monitor etc) under my budget, I do not think I can afford the upcoming gtx 1070. :-(

But just wanted to know how much less will the 960 be (currently its approx 25K in Delhi,Nehru place) once the 1070 is launched?. And for a rookie gamer like me who would like to occasionally play games at high settings will the 960 do the job for current games and future say atleast 2 years from now ? (Planning to keep the system without upgrading for atleast 2 years )

960 It might be okay enough for current gen games at high settings.But I personally think it would be difficult for it to manage games after1 year.
Coz after coming of pascal((and the affordabilty of 1070 vs its performance)),most games will be optimised for pascal architecture, and will eventually drop down in maxwell and kepler compatabitlities.

Thats not to say it wont be completely unplayable.Games may work but there may be certain issues while playing(frame drops, shutters,crashes etc)

Just like Kepler keeps on having these issues after Maxwell right now,until creators keep rolling updates after updates and finally give up(Batman, JC3) to make em stable on old gen cards.

I think it should cost around 35K. With 18.5% taxes.. Which are implemented on 1080.

ok now wait for RX 480, it equals GTX 980, and costs 200$

This is a very bad time to buy old gpu, since everything is being released in this window. Spend that money wisely and no rush.

take my advice and wait for mid june sale, rx 480 just announced on live stream, it costs 199, its better than gtx 980. don't settle for gtx 960.

The above config is good but dont go with the GPU yet, wait for the newer GPU's to be released and prices will certainly be slashed for the existing ones and maybe AMD Polaris is proving to be very interesting regarding price to performance ratio...

Hi All,

Thank you so much or your suggestion. I have decided to slighly up my budget and get the GTX970 card instead. Although upon reading your comments it would be prudent to wait for the AMD RX480,however time is of an esscence for me hence will need to rig my system up as soon as I can so that I can practice my flight sim skilss ;-)

Also I had enquire about the Rx480 from "MDcomputers" where I got qoute of Rs 30,000/- for an 8GB Card, this is way beyond the market price of the RX480 which people had suggested.

Anyway, I will be rigging up my system as per your suggestions :

a. Processor : Intel / i5 6500 : Rs 15,000 (approx Delhi price)

b. Motherboard : ASUS/B-150M Plus : Rs 9,200 (approx Delhi Price)

c. Ram : Corsair/ Vegence 8GB LPX 2400MHZ DDR4 : Rs 2,500 (approx Delhi price)

d.GPU : Zotac/ GTX 970 4 GB DDR5: Rs 24,000 (approx Delhi Price)

e. SSD : Samsung / 120 GB : Rs 4,050(approx Delhi price)

f. Hardrive : WD/ 1 TB : Rs 3,800 (approx Delhi price)

g. SMPS : Please suggest the same for Rs 5000 or below ?

h. Monitor : why are your thoughts on Micromax LED monitors 21-24 inch they come at about Rs 6,000 comapred to others ??

i. UPS : Do I need them or shoudl investing on cost effective (Rs 1500) would be better alternative

Thanks

Haha that was disappointing wasn't it? The 480 seems to just edge the 970. Great card for $200. For Rs.28k.....I don't think soo

^^ it equals gtx 980 in dx 12, still price is disappointing.
