Get Crucial MX500 500GB
860 EVO is overpriced and won't fit in OP's budget.

Get MX500, already own 850 EVO (equivalent to 860).
Both are exactly the same in performance.
MX500 is cheaper by 1.2k. Warranty might be a different story but both have 5 years..

Crucial rma in India s now officially handled by kaizen(same one who handles corsair rma) so it should be fine.

Crucial MX500, top SATA SSD, if you spend money on it, ~4.9k (cheaper than 860 evo for similar performance). For something cheaper Kingston A400 480GB (3.9k).
thanks for the suggestion guys. not too worried about performance as i'm just looking for better than hdd speeds in loading screens for warhammer, wow and few other games. using a evo850 250gb for os disk and performance similar to evo 840 would suffice for my games.
how is rma of kingston? i've used kaizen for corsair so have a pretty good idea about their service. never used kingston so far.
just to make sure, the 500gb should hold good for me to install 5~6 games of 50~60gb each right? or should i think about extending budget and getting a larger disk?
Happy new year to you and yours. Hope you all have a wonderful 2020.

Not much idea about RMA of Kingston, but should be ok, they are a big brand after all. A400 will easily suffice for storage.
If you install big games like Destiny 2 & Red Dead 2, you will barely fit 4. Just do the maths. If you can extend to 8.5k, you can get 1TB ones, like 960GB A400, sometimes Crucial P1/Intel 660p 1TB (they need a M.2 NVMe slot). MX500 1TB has gone for 9k at times.

Go with Intel 660P 512GB NVME SSD as the endurance rating of crucial SSD is low compared with others of the same price range.

For ssd,always check onlyssd first as it is the ssd selling division of primeabgb. Their prices are usually the best among all sites & some models are exclusively available there.

17k is way over budget for OP

They increased the prices.
It is bound to happen for popular models & is true everywhere.For a long time,primeabgb sold intel 660p 512gb nvme ssd for 4999 & they were the only one selling this model at this price.
