If you are yet to purchase the parts then you could get an AMD APU and a budget Radeon GPU and crossfire them. That will give you the best bang for buck. You will still be limited in your options while playing games, more so, if you have a 1080p monitor. The Radeon R7 will serve you well if you are on a 720p monitor. At your budget, I'd personally look for a good deal on a used card instead of settling for a low powered card. Look for enthusiast gamers who are eager to sell their old cards to upgrade to the latest specs. One man's junk is another man's treasure. If you could get a used GTX 660 or an HD7850 for ~8K then it's worth a try.

The card that comes closest to being a budget performance card is the GTX660. If you look for brands that offer the cheapest reference build with no fancy cooling solutions, you can have it relatively cheaper than the expensive Asus DirectCU 2 versions. I think the Zotac GTX 660 (Synergy edition) is the cheapest variant of 660 you could get. Around ~12K rupees if you are good at bargaining. In-game benchmarks suggest that this card clocks ~45fps average @1080p for most modern games like Battlefield and FarCry. Anything less powerful than this is useless because even these 'modern' games have been released at least a year ago. All future game releases will demand more processing power.

If you have capped your budget at 10K rupees, then I would recommend buying used AMD Radeons and crossfire them, instead of buying a low powered new card.

Might as well get the R9 270x/270 (270 still faster than gtx 660) then. Same price (not sure if same price in his location) Same price as the GTX 660 but better performance. Same price as the GTX 660 in my backward third world country. Should be the same price in India. The R9 270x can be much faster for the same price because the R9 270x is much newer.

The R9 270 is definitely more powerful than the GTX660, but it costs 14K rupees here.

Out of curiosity, what country are you from and what does a GTX660 and an R9 270 cost (all taxes included) in your country currently?
