Replace the mobo with Asrock B450 Pro4 and get 1660 Super instead of 1660.

If asrock B450 pro 4 is not available at that time then go with Buy ASUS TUF B450M-PRO GAMING at Lowest price in India - mdcomputers.in Do not buy MSI because currently they have probably the worst after sales support in India among major pc component manufacturers.

Also replace silicon power ssd with this Buy Online GIGABYTE 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD GP-GSM2NE3512GNTD In India

I would like to know more about my graphic card options. What if i extend my budget to 23K or 24K for graphic card, what are my options then? or is it enough just to get a 1660 basic version for a 1080P gaming scenario?

A 1660 Super performs almost same as a 1660Ti while costing ~10% less. You can get RTX 2060 for ~24k but then it'll be wasted on your current 60 Hz monitor.

I won't buy RX580 for now. AMD may launch something which sits between RX 5500 and RX5700 to counter GTX 1660/Super/Ti but that is not a certainty.
Zotac has 2+3 years warranty so you should be able to use the GPU for longer in case you don't want to upgrade it.

NE550M is inferior to CX550/CX650. As for Antec DF500,one should read this review before deciding *www.amazon.in/gp/customer-reviews/R1ANLYWJLVN8T/
