CV seems like a new model, but is a tier below CX series in terms of quality. CX450/550 are the best budget PSUs for gaming rigs.

Get Corsair CV550 or CM MWE
I am having exactly same problem and this is bit tricky.
except CM, other two are with old gen topology, however, both Antec and Corsair are among few who are reliable. CM was not considered good but new series has changed that. Both CV and CX in corsair are with old group regulated topology and are not considered good in 2020. I feel a refresh is in card for CX series. new gen PSUs are more reliable and have high efficiency. Its debatable if you really need the new gen ones but its always good to have new gen topology.
agree with @omega44-xt , you can take either CM or corsair from the list.
This is completely wrong, Corsair CX 2017 series is the best budget psu model available in India. You are thinking about older CX series which had group regulation & were considered poor/avg in quality.
@chimera201
You are right, I got confused with the same series name. The newer one are DC to DC.

Latest CX series is DC-DC. CV450 and CV550 is group regulated though. Coolermaster doesn't have competing PSUs at the respective price points.

Availability is a problem. Either you could wait for the CX series to come in stock and nab it fast or get the *sigh* CV650. The Antec Earthwatts Gold Pro 650W (which is a much better PSU) is in stock if you are willing to increase budget to 7K.

For your system, it should be fine IMO.
How is the power usage calculated as in this case for OPs requirement 450w PSU is enough. I guess they only consume on the actual usage however you can use the max allowed? in other words do these high watt PSU consume more power even if the requirement is far less?

It only consumes as much is required.

120/140mm fans. Get any from a reputed brand, will cost like 500 per fan. This seems good:

The seller has stated in Q&A that it has just 1 fan (likely in rear as pic) & users have said that side panel indeed has transparent area.
I got the same cabinet & it has 1 rear fan & windowed side panel. One very annoying & majorly overlooked issue in reviews though in this model is very difficult to connect multiple hdd/ssd with the usual sata power connectors in a chain like cable. Basically you won't be able to close the side panel without a lot of effort if you install hdd/ssd in more than 1 bay & your psu has has multiple sata power connectors like this:
Which fan did you install for the front intake? Considering the intake openings are small

Why not buy a better cabinet if you are worried about cooling? Like MSI MAG Forge 100M, costs 4.7k, a better case & has 3 pre-installed fans. If say your order hasn't delivered, you can cancel it.

Ask local sellers for it as well.
IMO just add a fan up front to 100R & forget. It will run a bit on the hot side, but shouldn't overheat.
