Yes, it's the same one i have.
Flipkart needs to present its data more accurately.
Model name:S12II-520 Bronze
Model no.:SS-520GB (Look on the label side of the PSU)
It's because there is a separate S12II PSU Series without the Bronze.
But that series does not have a 520W PSU, so it's confirm this one is a S12II Bronze series PSU. Also Flipkart states it has 80 Plus Bronze certification.

Hey got the same response from another user as well. But I've been reading some stuff and many people are saying that the future games will be optimized as per the AMD x86 architecture, so I just had this doubt since this is a NVIDIA. But this will save me around 2k :) And thanks for responding.

At launch, yes they will be optimized for AMD. But Nvidia will patch up their drivers few weeks later and the game developers will also patch up their game for Nvidia(Tomb Raider). If developers do care about the PC platform then they will optimize for the one that has the larger market share. And at present Nvidia has the larger market share as per Steam survey.

Also Valve chose to have Nvidia cards in their Steam Machine prototypes even though they publicly say they are supporting both AMD and Intel/Nvidia.

Oh great! And I have posted my config above. Will a Seasonic 520W suffice?

+1. I agree with you. I too have a zotac gtx 650ti boost 2 gb . It's a very good card . I got it around 11,500 on flipkart around 3 months ago but now when i check its prices , they have climbed to 14,500. I was lucky.

I don't think R9 270X has appeared in Indian markets. But when it comes it will definitely be costlier than ur budget. AMD fails in mid-range to high end card pricing in India. Americans get good deals on AMD but we don't. The reason why u will see AMD fans more on Toms' community, but also the reason why Nvidia has larger market share worldwide.

Saw it at about 18k on some Indian website, I know the corresponding offline store of that website in Delhi. Is it worth the difference?

Nope. Not worth it.
Also be careful, there are underpowered cards in the Indian market like Galaxy.

Seriously? Not worth it? Actually it was MSI.

And do you think upgrading from sapphire 7770 1GB to 650TI boost is a good idea? I mean will the difference in my gaming experience be avg or more than avg, on a scale of 1-10?

The economy of India wasn't stable for the past 3 months.
1 USD = 68 INR in September
That's why the high prices now.

I meant to say i got an extra discount of 5 % when its cost reduced from 13,500 to 12,000 for about 4 to 5 days . So i got it for 11,500.

And i know the conditions prevailing in india these days.
