Performance wise HD 7970 GHz edition and GTX 770 Ti are neck to neck in gaming. But compute performance wise, the nVidia product is far behind. Also when overclocked, AMD HD 7900 offers more performance improvement than nVidia 7000 series. The Model, Sapphire HD 7970 Vapor-X edition is already running at 1000 MHz speed, offering same performance of GTX 770 and can be overclocked to gain extra performance.

^ This.

Performance wise a Single HD7970 GHz Edition is better than GTX770 [rebranded GTX680].

You can't get the Haswell's into your budget. So go with FX8350 & the config suggested by Ankush28.

Secondly. If you are going with HD7970, then better to stick to APC1.1Kva.

The Gtx 770 is overall 4% faster than 7970ghz edition at 1080p resolutions.

Here's the proof. - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 2 GB Review | techPowerUp

Add to that, there 45w less power draw and the overall build of a 770 is much superior.
770 also has a far better overclock performance than 680 as it has a TITAN like PCB.

7970 ghz doesn't hold an overclocking advantage over 770 anymore. The latter has terrific performance boost with clock speeds, better than 680.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 2 GB Review | techPowerUp

The above should serve as a proof.

770 would be a better choice than sapphire ghz edition. Its even better if some custom overclocked 770's like gigabyte windforce and Asus DC II.
They even widen the gap more from a 7970 ghz.

But Vicky, in Tomshardware and Anandtech review, in most of the new games, they were performing similarly, in some 770 was ahead and in some 7970 GHz was ahead.

Tomshardware tested in 2560x1600 resolution only. The gap narrows down at such high resolutions and neither card allows highest settings at those res.

7970 was only ahead in amd centric titles like dirt and hitman. Dirt uses a special lighting system that works better in amd cards. They are not optimized for nvidia.
Hitman somehow locks fps for nvidia cards as seen in tomshardware. Even titan and 770 give similar fps in hitman and 7970 is ahead.

In all other games that are neutral, 770 has a slight edge and its 4% overall better. Its a lot better than 680 actually.
If 770 can be had at a price similar or lower than 7970, i don't see a point of not considering it.

Besides, a lot of 770 oc models are priced at reference levels.

Check guru3d's review at 1080p. 770 has a slight edge across the board.

It's good to go with GTX770 now, since its a new gen Card. But are they available in india ??

Moreover atleast op need to wait a month or so get the non-reference cards.

IMO let OP decide which card to get, when we all made our points regarding the Performance of both HD7970 GHz & GTX770.

the only game which uses more than 2gb vram is crysis 3 right now and that only at very high setting. 7970 struggles to keep playable fps at those setting so will any game which will use more than 2 gb vram. The bottom line is 770 is ideal for games which uses upto 2gb of vram.

and overclock 770 to get best out of it ;)

yeah, if not planning for dual card config in future 'cause if you would then 7970 with extra vram will come in handy for games which use more than 2gb vram.

Jun 6, 2013 at 10:17 PM
Actually there is a high chance that future games will use huge Video Memory. Reason: the current generation Console (PS4 and Xbox next) design which are having 8 GB of Ram and games designed for them will surely have more VRam requirement. This is not my opinion but the opinion of the most of the Game developers. Also check the link Vickybat has shared for the Gigabyte 7970 OC model. At a price of 26.8K including tax, it is really a superb deal.

ankush28 #29
Jun 7, 2013 at 8:55 AM
both card can give you 60+ fps on 1080p, high setting, so wuthout any more confusion go for one which you like personally.
my vote still go for sapphire hd 7970 vapor x.
in 1-2 year if games demands more make it dual card i.e. crossfireX.
or sell it for 15-20k add few from your side get latest one at that time
I always think like this ;)

Buddy, 770 is just a rebranded GTX 680 with slight memory overclock and better PCB. When overclocked at the same speed which is around 1250 MHz, all the three cards, GTX 680, GTX 770 and HD 7970, perform similarly. The 4% higher performance of GTX 770 is just because of the overclocked Memory by using a better PCB. All the custom PCB based GTX 680s (Like MSI Lightning) can be easily overclocked to same degree and perform same when overclocked at the same speed.
Recently HardOcp has performed a test including all these three cards and their conclusion is same.

I7 for gaming is a huge overkill. Stick with 8350, the gaming performance difference you'll get will be nothing compared to the extra 10k you'll be spending (add the cost of motherboard too). Why do you want an i7?
Cilus
Cilus #52
Jun 12, 2013 at 4:56 PM
i7 3770K is priced almost 8K higher than the FX-8350 and the good Motherboard will cost you arond 12K, increasing the total system cost significantly. As a resulut you have to sacrifise some other components like GPU which is not recommended for a Gaming PC. You need a proper balance between CPU and GPU.

get gigabyte or boost edition of hd 7970,i donot think extra 3-4k on vapour x model worth it.

for multigpus get always nvidia as sli is better than xfire due better driver support and better scaling by nvidia.

But multigpus for single monitor would be overkill.

my suggestion would get single gpu only.multigpus is all about hassals..etc.you will be happy with single monster hd 7970 for next coming up years.

Regarding i5 vs 8350 - you know i5 is faster than it.no need to confuse on it

thank you d3p,do anyone a good gaming keyboard with led lights because i play games at night....

If you play FPS games online, then go with a Mechanical Keyboard like Razer Black widow [which has led backlight] or CM Storm QuickFire. If MMORG, then Corsair K90 makes much sense. Or even Newly released Logitech G710+ Mechanical Boards are pretty good with cherry Brown keys.

If LED Backlight is not a requirement, then I would say get either Steelseries 6Gv2 or 7G. [6k - 8k]

If Membrane based Keyboard is preferred, then get Logitech G105 KB [less than 3.5k] is the best bet.

pcb are circuit board of gpus just like the motherboards but the gpu chip is embedded.
If you ever plan to go for sli/crossfire you need very powerful cpus where currently intel has edge over amd.

You can overclock a graphics card yourself beyond 1 GHz very easily. No need to pay >2k for factory overclocked cards if the non overclocked card has the same cooler.

Adding to the above.

You're spending close to 80k+ on this RIG & you wanted it to be assemble by Assembler. what if, you face problems after few weeks or months or you reassemble it for cleaning or for better cable management. None of the assembler will help you out to achieve a better a cable management. I'm also sure this so called assemblers might not know, how to get the Pre-Filled water Cooling unit installation or Air Flow Configurations.

This is the best time to learn though lot of youtube videos & guides. Google is your best friend.

Recently, one of my friend bought a Rig of 150k+ & he can't able to assemble it. For two days, those items were kept just like that till i showed up & after installations, we found RAM's were faulty. So be careful & read a lot before getting such items.

You cannot. All PSU pins are clearly labeled, the motherboard manual clearly mentions which pin goes where, no two ports have the same shape. Read the motherboard and psu manual carefully. Watch lots of videos and tutorials.

No way Corsair Carbide 400r will cost you 4k. I guess it was 300r, which was costing 4k earlier, but now that's 4.7k

The Cheapest 400r is available for 5.7k at Md Computers.
