Usually I'd go with an nvidia card, but AMD does do sheer computing power better which may come in handy to quicken up some of your editing. Left some room so you can add lighting as you see fit.

Dropped the OS and put more money into the mobo, cpu cooling, RAM, SSD and PSU. I tried to make a 290, 290x or 780 fit in your budget but it simply won't with a 4770k. I know there's still some money left in your budget but honestly dropping another $50 isn't worth it as the build isn't purely budgeted anymore, I added some quality there also. Better put towards a possible SLI set up or some other upgrades later on.

Save some money for upgrading your Ram after sometime. Because you will need it if you are hardcore render. Choose your power supply carefully, as your whole system depends on it. You are all good

Or get HX650 if you are getting below Rs.7000
Both are tier 2 brand and has better parts inside.
