Ok .. This is getting too complicated.
1)22 or 23K max
2)Want to play graphic intensive games in a 46 inch HDTV without any lag for atleast 2 and a half years.
Zotac 660Ti
Will the above satisfy that ??
Or some other suggestion ?
Thank You!
46inch or 55 inch, the native resolution for hdtv's are 1080p.
First of all, 7870 is slower than a 660-ti. But its pricing is low and thus has good value.
I would recommend the 660-ti. At 1080p, it actually is a tad ahead than 7950 with latest 320.18 whql drivers.
Check the following:

But i would suggest you to wait for the respective 7xx series refresh. After 780, two more cards will launch next month namely Gtx 770 and gtx 760-ti.
Both of them are rebranded 680 and 670 with other improvements and high clock speeds. The things that are notable are the rumored low price points.
The 770 is rumored to be around $399 and 760-ti to be $250-$299. Since 780 is already available in india, i suppose the 760-ti will just replace 660-ti's price, as soon as it launches.
Waiting a bit more would be a sensible decision from your side.
