As you've mentioned strictly below Rs. 8000, get this:
Sapphire AMD/ATI Radeon R7 250 with Boost 1 GB DDR5 Graphics Card Rs. 6,950
If you relax your budget a bit, get this:
Sapphire AMD/ATI Radeon R7 250X 1GB Graphics Card
Either of these cards need a quality 400W PSU that can deliver 19Amps or more on its +12V rail. The Amps delivery on the +12V is important than the wattage. See to that your PSU meets the minimum amp delivery.
If you don't have a quality PSU, then consider this, which can deliver 30Amps on its +12V rail:
Seasonic Eco Series 400W Power Supply Rs. 2750
Notes:
- The R7 250X, if you could get it in a shop near your locality, you can get it for Rs. 7900.
- Also keep in mind for another Rs. 1550, i.e., for Rs. 9,450, you can get a very capable Zotac GTX 750 2GB GDDR5 card from the local market that run all current and upcoming games at least in medium settings @1080p with average 35-40 FPS and @720p with high settings, average 40-45 FPS.
- Buying PC components online are always costlier than the local retailers in India. So think about it.
And yes, you can use the PCI-Express 3.0 card on a PCI-Express 2.0 slot, as they are backward compatible. The performance of difference of a PCI-Express 3.0 card operating on a PCI-Express 2.0 slot rather than PCI-Express 3.0 is close to zero or highly negligible. So don't worry, you won't lose anything substantial.
Either of the above mentioned cards (250/250X) will play the upcoming games with low to medium graphical fidelity @1080p and with medium to high graphical fidelity @720p. It also depends on how well the games are optimized to support a wide variety of hardware on low-mid range PCs.
With R9 250X, you can certainly play GTA V at an average of 30FPS with normal graphical fidelity, because GTA V is a reasonably well optimized game to support a wide variety of PC hardware.
Cheers!
