No one cares about the amd cards? XD [MENTION=139873]shekhar[/MENTION] I know you are an nvidia fan but you should consider other cards when suggesting. About OP waiting,yes it will definitely help as he/she will be able to increase his/her budget and the prices will fall after the new cards drop but the 970 currently ships for around 25k and I don't think it will come below 20k. Yes agreed that it is the sweet spot for 1080p but pairing it with an i3 also concerns me. What about amd cards? The r9 380 to be specific. It is something will would preferably pair with an i3. It beats the 960 in most games and since we are talking about dx12 the Fiji architecture of amd seems to have great performance gains in dx12 with something like a 390X beating the 980 in some cases and equalling in most not to mention that 390X is cheaper. Also the 380 has 4gh vram compared to 970's 3.5gb (burn haha....). The only thing is that it ships for a higher price in India though it should be equal to a 960 in price and its higher heat output which should not be that worring. The polaris seems to release soon and that will reduce its price. Currently the 380 goes for 19k. I hope it drops to the price of 960. Or the next best bet is 960 4gb variant. The problem with 960 is I don't see the price falling until the 1060 releases which is next year I guess....not really sure on that. That pair with mobo and ram should cost around 30k.
