Your selected config is good enough for playing AAA games at 1080p medium settings. And you should change your PSU to a reliable one like CX430M or S12II 430 unless you want your new components to get fried by your current PSU.

You need to get 64 bit Windows 10. IIRC, there are installation and/or driver related issues of win 7 on kabylake. And Win10 has DirectX12 which win7 lacks.

There is no point in using a 32 bit desktop OS.

You will have some money left after buying the things you listed. Use that to buy a good and reliable PSU, don't use the local one esp. when your rig contains a dedicated graphic card.

Thank you for your suggestions.
Could you please help me decide on one of these PSUs:
Antec VP450P
Corsair Cx430M

Corsair Cx430M

Don't about this model. BTW, How much is the price of this model?

See if you can find Seasonic S12II 430w or 430w Eco series from Seasonic.

instead of Gigabyte GA-H110M-S2 , pick Gigabyte H110M-DS2 .. the latter is much more durable but make sure that seller sends it with updated BIOS only...

Corsair Cx 430m unless you can get it for Rs 3200-3500 is overpriced for Rs 4000 or something .. If you are spending this much , directly get Antec VP550P at Rs 4300- 4500 much much better..

I have already ordered S2 motherboard. I was not sure if I should buy a new PSU, after going through your suggestions I am going to buying one. Will go for Antec. Thx

Will old games like NFS, Counter Strike and PPSSPP / Pcsx2 Ps2 emulated work on win 10 64bit?

that no name local "5 year old" PSU is a time bomb .. you were lucky if it didn't kill any other components by now..

try to get PSU offline , should be cheaper ,see if you can get it for Rs 4,000 or less .. and get Antec VP550P v2 only , don't buy VP500PC , .. they are different ..

There is no reason why they shouldn't. BTW, installing 32 bit OS will cripple your 8 GB ram. You won't be able to utilize all of it then. So, don't install 32 bit OS.

It will. Moreover, you will get DirectX 12.0 in W10 which will provide more performance (game dependent), when compared to DirectX 11.0 in W7.
Btw, there's the infamous 3GB barrier in 32-bit OS which will cripple your 8GB RAM, as @SaiyanGoku mentioned above.
