Parts I have already looked at:

Case - Lian Li Lancool II Mesh RGB or you may suggest to me any other case within or around $125

PSU - Corsair CX750M - 750 Watt or you may suggest to me any other PSU within or around $85

I'd pick the EVGA card, the case is fine but I'd look into a higher pedigree/series PSU from Corsair and or a brand like Seasonic. You're located in India, what's stopping you from picking (all of your)parts inside your own country? Last I checked there are retailers as well as e-tailers who cater to pretty much any brand people in the 'States have access to, including Fractal-Design. If you don't need a large case, perhaps look into a smaller form factor, like an matx or mitx chassis.

Because of the price, a ROG Strix GTX 3070 TI which costs $799 in the USA, costs almost double ($1675, that's 1 Lakh 29k INR ) here on Amazon.in.
