1. AMD recommends a 750W minimum Psu, should i get 850W for a lil headroom.
2. Any good brands here with service center located in india is a must given the long warranties these come with.
3. I'm on AM4 platform currently (5600X) should i get a Pcie 5.0 power supply ?
any websites to shop or shop at bangalore local.

If you going to go with RTX5080s or 4080s then you need 850watt PSU or else if you are going to go with RX9070XTs in future then you need just 750watt PSU.
I suggest you either go with MSI MAG A750GL or MSI MAG A850GL Gold Fully Modular PSUs.
Then in Deepcool you can go with Deepcool PM750D or PM850D Gold Fully Modular PSUs.
MSI PSUs are ATX 3.0 ones while Deepcool are ATX3.1 ones. Both have support for newer RTX40xx and RTX50xx GPUs along with RDNA4 AMD newer GPUs.
Don't go with Cooler master MWE V3 PSUs at all. Okay. The newer V3 ones could not pass some tests as shown in the PSU tier list 2025. Okay.

Yeah tbf 800w ones would also work anything above or around 750w would definitely be fine as the minimum reccomended counts for the spikes and maximum load besides the tdp

if one time purchase then get 1000W one else 750W is also sufficient.

which PSU tier list are your refering to ?
 
750W is enough - MSI A750GL for a good one

My 7900GRE OC (295W) + i5 12400 rig draws like 450W from wall while gaming (have a device to measure power draw).

It's a good PSU but its on older ATX 2.xx standards as seen on the PSU tier list excel sheet. The older standards aren't able to handle transient power spikes that appear on modern GPUs. If you go ahead with that forget future-proofing you aren't even buying a PSU that's able to fulfill current requirements. Also it's rated B+ but I don't believe there is much difference between plus and minus rating, so you can get PSUs that are rated B without sacrificing much. Snippet from the sheet "A minus (-) grade indicates units that have minor issues or demerits, but which are not serious enough to drop it a full letter grade".

As for options there are 3 PSUs that I know of which are good and future-proof.
1. MSI MAG A750GL PCIE5 ATX 3.0 80 Plus Gold Modular
2. THERMALTAKE TOUGHPOWER GF A3 750W 80+ GOLD PCIE GEN5 ATX 3.0 FULLY MODULAR
3. Super Flower Leadex III Gold 750 Watt

MSI and Thermaltake are priced similarily and rated B while Super Flower is rated A but is currently out of stock, priced slightly higher and could have potential warranty issues(?).
My advice would to get a 850W PSU as the price difference between 750W and 850W isn't a lot. You can get from shops listed here: https://pcpricetracker.in/

It's better to go with MSI A750GL 750watt Gold Fully Modular ATX3.0 pcie gen5.0 compliant from here https://computechstore.in/product/msi-mag-mag-a750gl-pcie5/ @ ₹7.5k

atx 3.0 vs atx 3.1 is that something important ?
Click to expand...
ATX 3.1 builds upon ATX 3.0 by introducing the 12V-2x6 connector, addressing issues with the 12VHPWR connector (used in ATX 3.0) and improving safety and reliability, while also relaxing hold-up time requirements.
Here's a more detailed comparison:
ATX 3.0:
  • Connector: Uses the 12VHPWR (12 Volt High Power) connector.
  • Hold-up Time: Required a 17ms hold-up time at full load.
  • Purpose: Designed to handle the power demands of high-end GPUs, particularly the RTX 40 series.
  • Efficiency: Offers improved power efficiency through features like Alternative Low Power Modes (ALPM).
  • Power Delivery: Ensures that even the most powerful GPUs receive the power they need safely and efficiently.
ATX 3.1:
  • Connector: Introduces the 12V-2x6 connector, which is designed to address issues with the 12VHPWR connector, such as ensuring a secure connection and preventing damage from poor contact.
  • Hold-up Time: Relaxed hold-up time requirements, reducing the required hold-up time from 17ms to 12ms at full load, with a recommendation of 17ms at 80% load.
  • Compatibility: ATX 3.1 is backward compatible with ATX 3.0, meaning that ATX 3.1 PSUs can be used with motherboards designed for previous ATX versions, though full benefits are realized when paired with ATX 3.1 compliant motherboards.
  • 12V-2x6 Connector: The 12V-2x6 connector is designed with longer conductor terminals (12V and ground) for improved conductivity, as well as shorter sense pins. The shorter sense pins allow your GPU to now shut off if the connection comes loose.
  • I think not having ATX3.1 does not matter as long as you are using 2x6 Splitter in RTX40xx and RTX50xx series.
 
TLDR: It doesn't matter much which one you get. Also there are many ATX 3.0 PSUs that are ATX 3.1 compatible (they pass all the tests for ATX 3.1 standards)
Infact, to increase power efficiency ATX 3.1 has lower hold-up time which is bad for those running their system on Inverter + Battery setup (Doesn't matter for UPS as they have 1ms switch over time)
Switch over time needs to be less than hold up time for PC to stay awake during power cuts.
