Can I get a SSD too within this budget? And suggest an UPS too.

And I already have a 2TB Seagate Expansion 2TB External. (Can it it be converted to internal HDD?).

Forgot PSU is Antec vp550p.
The money that you will save, you can spend on the ssd. Its total space will be less than what you are looking for though.
I doubt that, let the seniors to reply.
Ups Cyberpower or APC. But check its compatibility with your PSU first.

Rather than going for ryzen 1600,you may opt for ryzen 5 1500x/1400 and save some money in the process.You can now spend this money on getting an ups or SSD for your pc.As your primary usage is gaming a ryzen 1500x or 1400 will do just fine.

Yes. You can take the hdd out of the enclosure and fit it in a 2.5inch slot of your cabinet. But most likely you wont be able to put the hdd back in side the enclosure in case you decide that you want an external hdd. Careful before deciding.

Will it be a good idea as I want to run this PC atleast for 5 years?

Not planning to overclock. Is it reasonable to get 1500X?

I am aware of the risk that it is an irreversible process and as it is not in warranty anymore I am planning to make it permanent internal HDD.
