go for a 7870 or 660Ti (if prices are similar to 7870) and not 660 ofcourse.

7870 will not dissappoint you. :)

Take the Sapphire 7870. Good performance and after sales service.
I doubt a 660ti is available within that budget.

Performance : 660 < 7870 < 660ti.

AT present moment, avoid Gigabyte HD7870.
Look for sapphire HD7870.
And I have said it all the time without any respect: zotac is 3rd class company, and so is their product quality.

Why are you posing prices in dollar? You are buying in India right?

If yes, then AVOID HIS. It is one of the worst quality of cards available in the market, and with no specific stable RMA option.

Also, HIS cards are having very good build quality, their ICEQ and ICEQX series cards are some of the best custom designed cards available in the market.
Regarding Tirupatu Service, I don't think they are bad these days. Their RMA services have been improved a lot.

Ok. That sounds promising.
Let see what happens in future.

The problem with Tirupati is consistency, they had razer, now they don't, they had evga, now they have forsa, so if they drop HIS after 1/2 yrs, you're screwed and without a country presence HIS would not install another distributor.
