You will need dGPU if you're opting for Ryzen CPU, I guess you know that. You can't wait/postpone for price drop unless you have a spare GPU with you.
When I last searched I couldn't find a single cabinet with front 3.1 Gen 2 USB port in India. If you find one, let us know.

Though I understand you are building a high end system but you are overspending on some components change these component to what I have mentioned below


HDD:WESTERN DIGITAL DESKTOP HARD DRIVE 4TB BLUE (WD40EZRZ)-8,500
SSD:Samsung 860 EVO 250GB-6,000
PSU:Corsair RM750X-9,500
RAM:ADATA XPG SPECTRIX D40 DDR4 RGB 3000 8GB RAM AX4U300038G16-SRS-14000

for cabinet take a look at this
CORSAIR FULL TOWER CABINET (XL-ATX) - 780T WITH TRANSPARENT SIDE PANEL (BLACK-WHITE)

Don't get large HDD for storing data instead store them in external HDD problem with large HDD if some day one of the HDD fails then you will lose large amount of data

If you are spending this much then go for TridentZ ram:
G.SKILL F4-3200C16D-16GTZR Desktop Ram Trident Z RGB Series 16GB (8GBx2) DDR4 3200MHz

If you have a good UL internet connection(30-40mbps or more up/down) then get MS365 5 users pack & get 5TB one drive space(1TB for each user account) for ~4200/year & use that as your backup storage.Also you are right about buying internal hdd as in my experience 4TB/5TB portable 2.5" runs very hot & external 3.5" portable runs even hotter.Get 4TB seagate/WD(don't get the surveillance series or NAS series,aka regular versions have 2 years warranty others 3 years or more) drives & don't buy them online(internal hdd are very delicate & there is no courier company I trust with their handling).I am not suggesting 6TB/8TB drives because 4TB drives have established track record for quite some time now & most of the places usually keep non-regular versions of 6TB/8TB drives.

the locality of place where i live is heavy under construction so the net connection is not that strong and also keeps on throttling on my net plan (ie. 5mbps) and for the hdd i'm future proofing it for atleast 6 years so i'm buying the biggest consumer product available (also the reputed) afaik gold has 5 years warranty and its one of best if not the best drive out there. primeabgb is providing 12tb wd gold for 38k rs which is good price

If this is just get the output to monitor, go for GT 710. If you wanna game, better get 1050 Ti which is little over your budget.
If you wanna buy something strictly under your budget, you can get GTX 1050.
If you find any manufacturer refurbished card with warranty of the above models, you can go for that as well.
