WOW!! Really? You mean the XFX Radeon 6790 available @ 8k??Man I am gonna buy this ****.
i think you confused 6790 with 6970
Zotac GTX460 768MB for 8.4k, better option than 6790!
but why dont you go for 6850 or 6870? worth it.

I am getting the impression he is a nVIDIA fanboy, so better suggest him a 460. At least its a better card compared to the 550 Total Idiot.
I thought GTX 550ti should be enough for a 20inch monitor and at that price range. Considering all those reviews this card isn't that bad as you think

It is not about being enough, its just that the 550Ti is not the best option at your budget. Ultimately, its your money, your decision. You can go for it, if you want.
Don't trust us, look at the forums all around the world, you will come to know.

HD6870 is out of budget buddy. So I will go with GTX 460 768MB if it is available or HD6790.

IMO don't go for looks only. Yes looks matter but after 2-3yrs may be you'll regret that you don't have efficient config to play latest games with your handsome looking rig.
Better get as much as good config you can get with your money.
AFAIK those mobo can support max 1333MHz then why go for 1600MHz ??

Mate I never chose only handsome looking parts. I combined the performance with it and I think Asus motherboard is the best I can get for Handsome/Performance
Yes I know the board supports only 1333MHz but that shouldn't be a problem.I have two questions and I will decide to go with the card based on this.
1. Why everyone or most of them suggest AMD cards over Nvidia ?
2. On the basis of High settings = Low FPS, is the PhysX factor responsible for coming behind AMD cards in terms of FPS ?
1. Because at a specific price they have better performance. They are total VFM.
2. PhysX effects are supported in a very small no. of games to be a game maker/breaker. Look at all the high profile releases like Crysis 2, Dirt 3, DA2, Shogun 2 etc. At the end of the day, very few gamers will be gyrating over Batman:AA & Mafia II compared to the likes of Crysis 2, Dirt 3, Witcher 2 etc.

Okay so AMD=Great performance for money + low power consumption. Nvidia, on the other hand Good performance but not at all priced right unlike the other cards.
So are PhysX hardly noticeable, like in a game of 35+ FPS to the human eye?
____________________________________________________
Okay its done now!! I'll go with the XFX HD 6790 for 8k or I'll try to convince my dad to increase the budget a little and go for MSI or XFX HD 6850 for 9.5k.
Thanks everyone for your kind suggestion

Its a pleasure to have aided in your decision making process
BTW,in a few games like Crysis, Mafia 2 and Batman AA...u'll actually love the Physx effects
However...such games are few and far between to make Physx support to actually influence a purchase decision
If a game support PhysX, the effects are pretty extraordinary. But you need a powerful card like 560Ti, to get good frame rates.
EDIT:-
OK, so the decision has been made. Nice to see you make a better decision in the end. If possible, go for the 6850. You will love it.
