I would like to buy a budget 2gb ddr5 graphics card. My budget is 15k max. I am confused amongst the following graphics units as which one would be the most value for money:
1. Sapphire AMD R7 260X 2gb DDR5 OC Edition
2. Sapphire VaporX AMD R9 270X 2gb DDR5
3. Zotac Nvidia GTX750Ti 2gb DDR5
4. Zotac Nvidia GTX960 2gb DDR5

My current set up is as follows:
Processor: AMD FX6300,
RAM: Corsair Vengence 8GB DDR3 1600MHz,
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-LMT-S2PT motherboard,
GPU: XFX AMD HD6670 1gb DDR5,
PSU : Circle 600Watt modular.
I would be changing my motherboard in future, in may be one year but not right now.
My current set up has made me AMD fanboy, as I have used both Intel and AMD processors and my AMD FX6300+HD6670 setup has given me i5 like performance(I have i5 in my laptop with Nvidia 410m GPU). My current HD6670 has let me play Battlefield4 , COD Ghosts, Assasin's Creed Black Flag, Witcher 2, Dragon Age 2, Grid 2, NFS: The Run etc. in medium to high settings. Apart from Black Flag I didn't experience lag in any other game, which made me think about a new GPU now after 3+ years. I need my new graphics card to be as trusty as my current one, as I don't plan for change in another 4-5years.

Also I would be happy if I can keep my money within 10k, as that was my previous budget.
 



First upgrade that PSU to something decent.

You do realize that the CPU and GPU in a laptop are not the same as that of a desktop version. The laptop versions are heavily underpowered. That is the reason why everyone recommends a desktop over a laptop for gaming.
 
Out of the options you picked, I´d suggest GTX960 2 GB.

I know prices in India are not the same as otherwhere, but normally below options are similar priced, and you may find a good deal if you shop around with more performance:

GTX 960 4GB
R9 380x
R9 290
