Any suggestion and/or comment is highly appreciated.

These are my planned purchases so far

AMD RYZEN 5 1600 from Vedant computers Rs 16,350

GIGABYTE GA-AB350-GAMING 3 from ITWares RS 8,900

Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB 2400 MHz from ITDepot RS 5,610

Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1060 WINDFORCE OC 6GB from ITDepot Rs 23,099 (Costs Rs 22,650 from ITWares)
OR
ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1060 AMP! 6GB from ITWares Rs 23,500

WD Green 240GB SSD from MDComputers Rs 6,200

SEASONIC SMPS S12II 520W from MDComputers Rs 6,325

Things I already have:

WD Blue 1TB HDD
Corsair Carbide 300r cabinet

My budget is around 70k. Also, should I trust ITWares? seems like they have quite a bit of negative reputation going around them.

Would you suggest getting ADATA XPG Z1 8GB DDR4 2800MHz, if it's not listed in the motherboard QVL?

Too bad most of the QVL RAMs are listed as out of stock with no forseeable restocking date. Few that are listed are more than 9k.

Yeah, many of the components have availability issues.
GPU, PSU, RAM...

You have 7 weeks, right? Keep checking, hopefully you will find some in stock @ good price.

Good config. Try to get a higher frequency ram, 3000Mhz atleast if possible.
If extra 1.5k budget is not an issue, then samsung 850 evo instead of WD green.
Do you already have a monitor?

don't need a monitor right now since I already have a dell 1080p 60hz monitor.
Is the extra 10GB SSD space worth 1.5k?

It's not the extra 10GB space but the Samsung 850 Evo is tried and tested SSD with higher read/write speeds compared to WD green. It's the go to SSD for anyone who is planning to buy an SSD at 7k-8k range. How much perceivable difference it is going to make in day to day usage is debatable, that is why I've asked if budget is not an issue. You can stick to WD green or Crucial MX300 if you don't want to spend more.

When it comes to hdd/ssd it is the reliability that scores over performance because most would rather have a slower ssd/hdd with more reliability than a faster ssd/hdd which may go bad after few months.Though in this case samsung ssd is both faster & more reliable than WD so yes it is worth extra 1500.
