I need a new graphics card for my new build. It should cost around Rs 20000. I found this one suitable:
http://www.flipkart.com/sapphire-amd-ati-hd-7870-2gb-gddr5-flex-2-gb-graphics-card/p/itmddu7grqqtrghg?pid=GRCDDU7GDZ327GZJ&
And also I also need recommendations if possible for a motherboard compatible with this and also i5 4670k processor and also how can I check whether a graphics card and a motherboars is compatible ?
Thanks in advance.

That's not even a GHz edition 7870. Consider this one instead http://www.flipkart.com/msi-amd-r9-270x-hawk-2-gb-gddr5-graphics-card/p/itmdpvgkcm6mzhuz?pid=GRCDPVGB4KZUZGFN&ref=4ca9fce4-156c-4924-bf29-a0fd4114c8ec

It clearly performs better

As for the motherboard get one of these depending on your budget:

that's a good graphic card..

well, actually any motherboard with z87 chipset will suffice your need..and it'll compatible with any pcie based graphic card

but since you already bought unlocked k processor, then you shoud get the well overclockable motherboard too..

msi Z87-G45 Gaming

well, best price performance class of highend z87 chipset..

How to know if the graphics card and board are compatible? Easy. If the card uses PCIe and the board has a PCIe x16 slot, they are compatible.
Long story short, if you're buying a modern graphics card and a modern motherboard, they are pretty much guaranteed to be compatible.
