i3 7100 is a waste of money compared to G4560 and the latter won't bottleneck the ram either.

AMD hasn't released ryzen 3 or am4 APUs yet which could've been a great alternative in your budget.

850 EVO is currently being sold on ebay for Rs 6800, for that price its a very good deal, but It may overshoot your budget by a lot..
Other than that, you can try 750 EVO or refurbished intel SSDs available on ebay for Rs 3k ish

Intel refurbs seems to be years old. like 2011-2012(320/520) EOL...too much age = life of NAND reduced?, no warranty too...
WD SSD scores worst in performance.
I see no other brand than samsung in performance in budget range

if you don't have to use PC urgently and buying only because of gst , then buy all other components and leave out CPU.. buy g4560 when available

otherwise compromise on performance or price..

for SSD .. Samsung 750 Evo 120 gb is the fastest budget SSD but if it is overpriced or not available the second best alternative I think would be the new
Kingston A400 120gb ..

if you can find seasonic eco 430 then buy that otherwise go with VP550p v2 PSU specifically this model.. if budget constrained then pick Vs450


CX 430 and vs450 have been discontinued so that is why it is out of stock on many places...
the newer models are CX 450 or VS 400
