Hd 7770 or 6850, both will do fine. If you can find a gtx 560 under 10k, get it. Will be much better than the above mentioned.

Yup, get a GTX-560 for 10.5k.
Check SMC international they have a MSI GTX-560 for 10.4k.

GTX 560 if you can find it at 10k.

If not,your next best option is HD 6850(get msi cyclone OC one)

next best option is HD 7770.


Safety tip:- Do not run furmark/msi kombustor after purchasing GPU.

Don't worry, your pc won't even touch 400w even with furmark :-D

^ That was not because of wattage. that was said to prevent him from bricking his new GPU like I did -_-

Get any GTX560. About PSU, a Corsair 430V2 would suffice.

They first sent me a replacement which was an epic old card which has been clearly used extensively and with a million solderings done behind. so i refused to accept it and asked them to replace it again. :\ called him today. he said 1-2 days more. -_-

^Absolutely not. Overpriced. You can get a GTX 560 at 10.7k which is miles ahead of the HD 7770 in terms of performance.

Zotac GTX 560 1 GB DDR5 Amp Edition is available for 10.7 K on Ebay but after applying coupon for ICICI Credit and Debit cards 10% off.. it becomes 9.7 K which is an excellent deal..
Go get it, it's better than ALL the cards in it's price range (and over it)

ICICIEOSS2 For Credit Card
ICICIEOSS1 For Debit card

Don't you have access to any other shops at your place? 14000 for gtx 560 is criminal. you can get a 560ti at that price.

Take a look around other shops.

is there any difference b/w ti version and non ti version..and you guyz are sure my cx430 v2 will handle these cards?....

yes the 560ti performs 10-15% better than the gtx 560. and yes as long as you don't overclock anything it should be fine on your psu.

Better get MSI GTX-560 from SMC for 10.4k.
MSI N560GTX-M2D1GD5

or get this: Zotac NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 (ZT-50901-10M) 1 GB DDR5 Graphics Card | Graphics Card | Flipkart.com

And if you register Zotac online you get 2yrs additional warranty, so 5yr warranty in total.
Great VFM.
