Hii there. get the r7 265:http://www.flipkart.com/msi-amd-ati-r7-265-2gd5-oc-2-gb-gddr5-graphics-card/p/itmduugfb2v4zn83?q=MSI+AMD%2FATI+R7+265+2GD5+OC+2+GB+GDDR5+Graphics+Card&as=on&as-show=on&otracker=start&as-pos=p_2&pid=GRCDUUFZW2UBYAGC rs 12285. It has mantle and it beats the 750 ti completely. What's your psu's wattage?? It cud be a deciding factor in what to buy.
 
Maxwell architecture is as good as any other for gaming.
When you sort out the gaming benchmarks, the GTX750ti is in the same performance class as the R9-265 and GTX570. One good reason for Maxwell is the lowered psu requirements.

I do not know your currency, but for a balanced gaming pc, I would divide my combined cpu and gpu budget into two parts. The graphics card is of most importance, so I would allocate 2 parts to the graphics card and one to the cpu.

A 4670K is as good as it is going to get for gaming. It will allow you to run a GTX780ti .
If you are building today, buy a 620w psu even if you don't need that much. It will allow you a future graphics upgrade. I suspect you would find a GTX770 to be appropriate, but we all have a budget.
A GTX750ti would not be wrong, just so long as you can be prepared for a future graphics upgrade.
And... ignore mantle as a selection criteria. It reduces the driver cpu load which is irrelevant with a strong cpu like a 4670K.

 
If you want to get Nvidia then why not and if your budget is tight get the 750ti. I heard that i can run bf4 on ultra 1080p
 


Then increase your budget by 2000 bucks and get the gtx 660: http://www.flipkart.com/zotac-nvidia-geforce-gtx660-2gb-2-gb-ddr5-graphics-card/p/itmddmmgfjyngygn?pid=GRCDDMMGFJYNGYGN&otracker=from-search&srno=t_25&query=gtx&ref=52228333-3197-4cc1-a923-b4e325d1cc3d
Because with the 750 ti you may be able to run bf4 on ultra but you wont even get 40 fps: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gtx-750-ti-review,3750-9.html
Gta 5 will also run but if you want a constant 60 fps get the gtx 660. Also What games do you play which use physx?? You won't be able to run gta 5 on ultra however.
Physxx shouldn't be a deciding factor in buying a graphic card. It makes just a litttle difference in the game and very few games are physx-optimised. If you do want physx you can buy a physx processing unit later. Look at The avg framerates playing bf4 on ultra. There is a 10fps increase in both the r7 265 and the 660 and the r7 265 is costing just about the same as the gtx 660.
So get either the gtx 660 or the r7 265 if you want your card to last you some years on ultra settings on most games.
 


I'm going to have to call shenanigans there, Mantle gives a performance boost all across the board. It makes the CPU less of an intermediary for the GPU, meaning that it will complete tasks addressed to it faster, with less of the work put on the CPU trying to deliver it to the GPU. That benefits every setup, no matter what CPU you're using.
