In two months you will have few more options.
You can go up to 3700X/5600X~
For non overclocking rig, I would say any decent B series would do.
650/750w PSU
If you already have GPU, use it until you buy 3070, else get a basic one/used one until you get 3070.
You can get these under 60k.

Adobe apps run better on Intel based systems with iGPU.

Limitations:
- RAM will run at 2933MHz at max (might be able to adjust timings, not sure)
- No OC, but there's a way to bypass the 65W power limit. At 65W, it apparently runs at just 3GHz all core. Sending more power will help increase all core frequency to beyond 4GHz:

I'm much of AMD Fanboy so I'll go with AMD setup.
Also Should I wait for 5000 series reviews or R7 3700x is good enough??

Wait for reviews, should be out in Nov 1st week & we should know about the Indian release & price by then as well. R5 5600X should be 30k. It should outperform 3700X in games due to the IPC gains but maybe 3700X will be better for productivity, let's see what happens.

Do you have a GPU though? Ryzen CPUs don't have an iGPU

Have an old gtx 1050 Ti and GT 710.

Will there be any issues if I use GT 710??
As I don't want to disturb my setup having an GTX 1050ti

No, will work fine if the GPU is in working condition. In this case, go for AMD rig, buy new GPU after few months when prices settle down

Ok, it is a bit inferior to the MSI one I suggested in VRM temps. But for R7 3700X, it doesn't matter. Not sure of other differences between the two mobo other than the fact that Pro VDH has WiFi whereas Aorus Pro has heatsink for 2nd M.2.

I think you confused it with B550M Aorus Pro. Look at the 10th one from Above. It has better VRMs. Also More USB Ports And M.2 slots (Which was the main Reason I Chose this one) Wifi is not much of an issue to me as I can get a seperate wifi whenever required

Yup, I did, my bad. A great deal in that case. Both have 2x M.2 slots, not exactly sure what you mean by more M.2 slots. In case you go for extra WiFi receiver (LAN connection would be my top choice), get a good PCIe based one (1.5k) rather than cheap USB dongles.

By More M.2 slots I meant dual but looks like all b550 motherboards have dual m.2 slots.

Also any recommendations for wifi receiver??

Not much idea, but this should be better than USB dongles. Prefer LAN cable.
