Newer AMD processors won't work with DDR3 ram.

An i5 9400F + B360M mobo(check if it has latest BIOS) + 8GB RAM + RX580 should fit under 40k. Get a 120GB SSD as well for OS, costs like 2k i think. Prices are usually lower at sites like mdcomputers & primeabgb.

I have been using AMD and if I can save some money by using AMD, I would prefer that, also, how is mdcomputers online portal? I have only used amazon and flipkart not sure of the packaging and return policy of mdcompyters?

This if for gaming but you don't have a GPU with you now, right?
You only want CPU+MB+RAM. Don't you want a GPU for gaming?

Actually, Ryzen 5 2600X (19k) is much more expensive in India than i5 9400F (12.5k) for some reason, they have a similar price in the US, in which case Ryzen would have been the way to go. Considering Ryzen 5 2400G is available for 12k, better get the new i5 9400F (it lacks integrated GPU, so dedicated GPU is a must to run it).

Buy Sapphire RX 580 Pulse OC 4GB GDDR5 (11265-32-20G) at Lowest Price in India - mdcomputers.in
By 9th Gen Intel® Core™ i5-9400F Desktop Processor BX80684I59400F at Lowest Price India - Mdcomputers.in

I can see approx 5000 difference between ryzen 5 2600x and ryzen 7 2700, where the difference of these processors can be felt in real world? is it worth going for ryzen 7 ? also which MB is best suited for either r5 or r7 under 15000?

Those will be wasted for your intended usage. Would be better to go with parts @anupam_pb suggested.

Video editing, simulations, rendering of any kind & other CPU intensive tasks. In gaming the difference would be minimum, an OC'd 2600X should beat 2700 easily in gaming as most games benefit more from frequency (which is an advantage which Intel has, along with their instructions). By default, i5 9400F beats 2600X for gaming, but if you check their performance in CPU intensive tasks, 2600X is a good 20% better. An OC'd 2600X can match i5 9400F in games, so overall I'd prefer 2600X but considering the price difference in India, it's not worth it (unless you can get it for under 15k locally).

For your usage, you are just overspending by going for 19k 2600X.

A B450M motherboard will work fine for 2600X or 2700. AMD doesn't need top tier mobo for overclocking. This one is enough, no need to overspend on the motherboard:

For 2600/2600x it will work(decent OC of course & not those "serious OC") but it is always recommended to get a decent mobo especially considering the hot climate of most of the regions here.

I still think for budget conscious users, better to not over spend. I doubt OP would OC it too much, if at all any.

These lowest tier(as per that reddit tier list) mobos cost ~6.5k & a good msi higher tier mobo cost ~9k.Difference is not much unless budget is very tight(which rarely is in such configs).
