I'm a bit tight on my budget I'd like to buy a GPU for/under 20K PKR i-e: 196.43 US Dollars.
I was going for a GTX 660 ti(Never checked the price though) but it'd really be appreciated if you suggest me a GPU better than 660 under my budget.

Hello Issue Games,

Please avoid any of the GTX 660 cards, as they are already 3.5 years old and proper driver support/optimization may not be available for the latest/upcoming games.

Based on the current stock availability, consider these cards:

ASUS STRIX GTX750TI-OC-2GD5 PKR 20298 [Pretty good mid range card]

GIGABYTE GV-R726XWF2-2GD Radeon R7 260X 2GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready Video Card PKR 18000 [This card from AMD competes directly with GTX 750 Ti mentioned above. Performs almost the same, but in some games slightly lower fps but the difference is high negligible]

Card that is better than the cards discussed above but unfortunately out of stock. See if you could get this locally than online:
ASUS R9 270 R9270-DC2OC-2GD5 Radeon R9 270 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 PKR 19600

If you're willing to spend an extra PKR 2000, consider this excellent mid range card, which is better than any of the cards discussed above:
MSI R7 370 2GD5T OC 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5 ATX Graphics Card PKR 22000

Update:

I've already clearly specified why you should avoid 660 cards. Its sensible to get present generation graphics cards with better optimized drivers & power efficient than getting older ones. Just because that older card offers slightly a better performance doesn't matter.

Cheers!

I did some comparisons of GTX 660 ti with the GPU's you suggested and In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 Ti were marginally better than the one's you suggested.
