Any gpu ranging from 7750, 6770 or 6790 will do for your resolution. My vote goes to 6790. It consumes a little more power than the other two but it is the most powerful.

At the price of HD 6790, you can get Gigabyte HD 7770, available at 8.6K in smcinternational.in. This performs better than HD 6790 and consumes less than half the power of it. It also performs almost equal to HD 6850 in most of the DirectX 11 titles.
BTW, also mention what is the resolution of your monitor and at what setting you are gonna game.

^^ +1 for the 7770.
I only suggested the 6790 because i thought op have strict budget of 8k. 6790 is available for some 7.8k i think. If OP can increase the budget the 7770 is the best choice!

If you get the HD 6770 is surely gonna play it really nice and you should opt for the MSI one because looking at your PSU is really nice and you should overclock your HD 6770 and so get the MSI one. ;-) :)

So i can take a 6770 now and then CF it with a 6790 right?

^ No point in doing that. By the time you get around to doing CF,there might be a better single card which will cost less/offer better performance at that price.

Radeon HD 6850 vs Radeon HD 7770 – Performance Comparison Benchmarks @ Hardware Compare

Check this out !!!!

HD7770 (128 bit) beats the HD6850 (256 bit) only in power consumption. But you got a good PSU. So You should checkout the Benchmarks and performance charts.

I ain't pushing my card here. Just look at the VFM here.

If you have extra money,then buy atleast a 560 ti/6950.......more like future proof (if you ever upgrade ur monitor to FullHD)

keep it up :D you know 6850 will give only 10 fps extra compare to hd 7770, but if you OC a litte you will get more desired results of 6850, and 6850 consumes power a lot, im also gonna purchase HD 7770,
