Here an AMD GCN card is highly recommend as both Adobe after effects are now coming with GPU acceleration implemented through OpenCL, a field where AMD GCN excels over nVidia now. If OP can increase his budget, he can opt for Sapphire HD 7870 XT which is around 17.5K

+1 and yeah should opt for the 7870 XT with boost its available at MD computer for 18.1k, local prices might be cheaper.
I don't think he want to put this mid-end beast in a gamma. OP can get the NZXT source 210 elite (white) or a tempest 410 elite nad if you have the money the 400R is the best choice.

I would recommend the i5-4570, it only cost 1k more the the 4430, and has .2 ghz higher clock speed and .4 ghz in turbo.

Strictly avoid cost to cost. They have been involved in selling parallel imported hardware of which you will have difficulty in claiming warranty- or won't be claiming the warranty at all. There have also been instances where cost to cost have been selling duplicate GPUs in the past. Its even reported in known Indian tech forums as well.

I've heard the same about duplicate GPU's.

Was thinking to buy parts from nextworld or flipkart.

Also, in your opinions for me what would be better INTEL or AMD?
