1. Which Power Supply do you have? (Be EXACT while naming the company and model)
will buy - corsair GS600 , Seasonic S12II 620 or any other you recommend

2. What is your budget?
for gpu 14-15k , for psu 4-5k
after researching i am confused between hd7850 or gtx 660 .or tell me any other

: if AMD , then
SAPPHIRE HD 7850 2GB OC GDDR5
Gigabyte GV-R7850 OC-2GD
{both are OC edition}
or any other you want to add on

: if Nvidia , then
Gigabyte gtx 660 oc edition
or another you can tell

3. Which resolution will you game at?
right now its 1600x900 , but i will be attaching it to my 46" tv(1920x1080)
also , i may upgrade my monitor too , thinking about 23" 3d monitor
so gpu must be 3d compatible

4. What are your current computer specifications?
AMD Phenom II X6 1055T
ASUS M4A78LT-M
WD 500gb
RAM 1x4gb corsair 1600 Mhz



OR

sony PS3 ??

Well if you like ps3 specific series like god of war uncharted and likes then you may want to buy ps3. But then you would have to spend more on purchasing games......

else get 7870 around for around 16.5k(if u can extend) best vfm product......

btw which kind of 3d do you plan to use??(active/passive)

if you are looking for 3D then you have to go for nVidia .. AMD 3D implementation is $hitty

Check local rates. FK is unnecessarily expensive in certain categories.

okay , i had just removed the PS3 thought !!
hd 7870 is just 5-10% better than this hd7850 , i guess its not worthy to spend 3k more on this.

vfm product ; i am looking for the brands having local service centers , like- sapphire , gigabyte , asus ,powercolor , palit , zotac


and the 3d i was talking about is this LG monitor
LG Cinema 3D Monitor D2342P | 23" Full hd LED Monitor - LG Electronics IN

i think its with polarized glasses , passive 3d

Sapphire hd7870 - 16k
Corsair GS500 - 4k


i am getting these @
Sapphire Radeon HD 7850 2GB GDDR5 (860 MHz GPU Clock Speed) - 13.5k {local}
Sapphire Radeon HD 7850 OC Edition 2 GB GDDR5 (920 MHz GPU Clock Speed) - 14.5k {local}
Gigabyte GV-R7850 OC-2GD 2 GB GDDR5 (975 MHz GPU Clock Speed) - 14.3k {flipkart price / local will be lil bit cheap}

SAPPHIRE GRAPHICS CARD HD 7870 2GB - 16.3k {as you said}



i had checked on game-debate.com , 7870 is just 10% better than 7850 OC in crysis 3 @ 1920x1080 res.
so , i am thinking now of sapphire HD 7850 (13.5k) for my 1600x900 res. & will upgrade to HD 8850 in Q1 2014.


Am i going right ? &
is sapphire better than gigabyte ??

I was wondering... is it safe to buy the 7850 or 7870 with all the issues reported all over the internet? I mean the black screen, artifacts. Anyone have any experience?
