CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 3500 - 11k
Mobo - Asrock B450 Pro4 ATX - 7k*
RAM - 1x8GB DDR4 3200MHz - 2.8k
Total - 20.8k
*ASUS TUF B450M Pro Gaming at 8k is another great option, both need the latest BIOS to run 3rd gen Ryzen CPUs though.

CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 1600 - 9k
Mobo - Gigabyte B450M DS3H - 6.5k
RAM - 2x8GB DDR4 3200MHz - 5.6k
Total - 21.1k

First option is the superior one & more futureproof. You can add a 2nd RAM stick later & even upgrade GPU to something like 1660 Super or any future 15-20k GPU for a big improvement. Due to IPC improvements, Ryzen 3rd gen is much better for gaming than older Ryzen CPUs, so it will hold better for newer mid end GPUs. R5 1600 will hold back some performance, maybe 10% or more. Don't pair R5 3500 with that cheap Gigabyte CPU.

Add a 120GB SSD (1.6k) for OS, if you don't have one already.

Increase the budget to get a lot better CPU and mobo (best in class)

Ryzen 5 3600 - 15.5k
RAM 2 x 8GB 3200Mhz - 6k
MSI B450M Mortar Max - 9.5k

Total - 30k

Have you not checked recent pc config posts,now just hope you won't need any after sales support in 3 years warranty.Also if you are unlucky enough to need it then never give your processor to msi service centre guys for any testing(take it out before giving mobo & ask them to check with their processor) or high chance they will bend the processor pins.

^That could just be someone just being unlucky. bending CPU pins by RMA support is just shocking, I hope whoever had such experience got compensated by MSI. I read that MSI is working on giving better support.

More like such cases are in majority.One member here in Gujarat msi centre & another one on reddit in Delhi msi centre faced this exact same issue,msi service centre guy bend their processor pins.On top of that,the guy from Gujarat(& a member here) was actually sent to gigabyte service centre by the msi service centre guy to fix his bent processor pins :lol:

Unless you read otherwise(here & elsewhere,especially /r/IndianGaming),avoid msi products in future.

The only rep worth knowing on /r/IndianGaming is gigabyte rep eddie_edits (u/eddie_edits) - Reddit He is quite helpful & may even get you some discount on gigabyte products.

I read about poor MSI support even in the US. MSI had a lot of issues with Ryzen 3rd gen & many people were annoyed by their support.
