16 is actually doable, as long as no heavy simultaneous workloads are involved. Only a handful of games have ever crossed 16 gb for me, the most being Hogwarts Legacy. That was eating up 25+ GB
51-70k What can be improved in my build

Yeah good thing that isn't one of the games I intend on playing. And I won't be running background apps except maybe msi afterburner or amd adrenaline
The specs look good.
Things like monitor, and the peripherals are i think you will interact with the most, using the ones you like using, should be ones you should probably get.
Getting a used rx 6600 might also be also useful, as then you can get something like a really good monitor , but you could also get a used rx 6700 or a used rtx 3070 which could prove beneficial due to the BIG uplift in graphics.
Hope this helps.

I know I know before anyone says this I know that's a gen 3 NVMe motherboard with gen 4 SSD. They have become very cheap so might as well add one. This way it retains some resell value.
I doubt anyone will be able to come up with a better config, I have cut some corners like using a single 16GB stick but OP can buy another one when he has money (IT'S JUST 2.2K INR).
Yes you do not need aftermarket air cooler with this processor. Intel somehow managed to improve their included stock cooler and while they are not miracle themselves they are better than you would expect. You can always buy an after market one if needed.
Cabinet can be changed to any other as OP likes. I just took whichever mesh one I could see first. It comes with 4 pre-installed RGB fans and magnetic dust filter so it's not bad.
That keyboard is going to break but that can be said for any mech keyboard in that price range so might as well just roll the dice. You don't want membrane, trust me.
Caution/Advice: If you are actually serious about video editing then you might want to get a motherboard that supports gen 4 NVMe SSD because that will make transferring larger video files more quickly.

If he wishes and can increase the budget then sure. Getting one with WIFI won't be necessary unless there's no cheaper alternative.

Go for it, except the monitor.. dont go anything below IPS panel and 144hz... At this moment there's nothing better within the budget you have. Setup looks good enough for competitive fps like cs2, val, fortnite. Also best decision to not hurt your parents pocket. You can always buy something better when you start earning
Edit: 5.7k rs for msi b550m-a pro, have the same VRM as the higher tier b550m pro vdh wifi, just not with the heatsink. But its doable with a case with good positive air pressure/flow.. i bought the same at January sale. It never goes above 50-55°c no matter how hard i overclock
Also if you are not in hurry wait for sale. You can buy msi b550m-a pro at 4.7k rs from amazon. Better upgrade path with pcie 4.0 ssd and amd gpu perform better on pci 4.0 than pcie 3.0 because they run on x8 lanes.
