Am planning to buy HD6870, please suggest which brand I should buy. Also I want a sufficient power supply having good efficiency. My budget is 14k. Am planning to buy online, so mentioning which site to buy from is a plus

My present config is:
corei5 2600k
asus maximus 4 gene z
g.skill 8gb dual channel ram
seagate sata3 1tb harddisk

wait. HD7000 is coming!

Brand-Sapphire,Msi and Asus.
PSU-Seasonic S12 II 520Watt Bronze-3.2k

Or you can also wait for new 7000 series from AMD.

@tenida : sorry for OT, but any idea which dealer sells seasonic PSUs ? Me looking for the 380W version...

I think waiting for the 6930 is a better option, since it should be within a couple of weeks and somewhat in your budget..

PS: great rig!

Any idea when the 7000 series is coming, available for purchase here? I'd like to get the card before christmas

^^ Would be released in January. Expect to come in India in late January & beginning of February. (rough idea).

Before christmas? Definitely not.
If you cannot wait then go for the HD6870 like you wanted.
I'd suggest you to choose from Sapphire/MSI/HIS.
I'll try to avoid Asus products till Rashi peripherals do something about the RMA quality.

Not before christmas?? Hmmm any idea when then?

sometime in jan, so maybe feb in india..and might be at a pretty high price...

the HD 6870 goes for $159 in the US, here they are still around 12k

if you cant wait till jan, wait for HD6930 atleast.

So basically its not much use if I wait for hd7000??

^its worth!!!
