Skip SSD and use your existing one for now.
You can fit Ryzen 1600 + MB + 16GB memory in this budget.

Can you suggest me specific model for Ryzen motherboard? How's the Gigabyte GA-AB350? I was thinking about Ryzen 5 2600 or i5 8400 (if price gets back to its original price).

Ryzen 2600 will overshoot your budget a little. But if you want, go ahead. WRT to Intel price drop, I don't want to keep my fingers crossed and I don't expect it to drop anytime soon, even after 9th gen make it to the market. In fact 9th gen too will be overpriced.
As for motherboard, this one is decent
Asus TUF B450 Plus Gaming
But reviewers find MSI and Asrock B450 boards are better for overclocking.
As a brand I prefer Asus and Gigabyte (in that order). Solely for their reliability and ASS and they have proved it over the years. For that I prefer Asus and Gigabyte even after though they aren't as good for overclocking. I would like to lean towards reliability than crazy overclocking.

Hi nac, I increased my budget little more and finally bought following parts:
Ryzen 5 2600 + Asus ROG Strix B450-F + 2x8GB Corsair Vengeance LPX 3000Mhz. Total costed me Rs. 39700 at PrimeABGB.
Thanks for quick help.
