Depends what games you're looking at playing but on paper the RX560X is on par with the GTX1050 but the Asus TUF will probably be better because it will have the better cooling solution than the F570.

Are you wanting a 15.6inch screen? A 17" would give a better experience.. For example;

Considering d pricing, I'll hav to pay extra 20k INR for the 17" one so probably I'll b happy wid the 15.6 one!
Thanks for ur suggestion btw ;)
Just a thought. :)

From the two you listed, the one with the Geforce 1050 is the one that will perform better in games.

The FX505DY will give you better VFM but the Acer model above will be the better gaming machine. You have to decide whether 30% extra is worth it, also try flipkart as they have slightly better deals & no cost EMI up to 18 months!

Max budget best you could get from amazon is this :
https://www.amazon.in/Acer-AN515-52-15-6-inch-Windows-Graphics/dp/B07GYJSTJL/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=1050ti+laptop&qid=1554997958&refinements=p_36:-6500000&rnid=7252027031&s=computers&sr=1-1

The 1060 would be ideal but 1050ti will do for casual gaming on the go, I have 1050ti max-q laptop and it handles all games I want to play perfectly fine with mixture of low-high settings.
Examples:
Resident evil 2 remake
Devil may cry 5
Sekiro
Mirrors Edge Catalyst
I'll b playing CS GO,PUBG,PES 19,DMC 5...Not dat hardcore in gaming but yeah medium settings at 1080p would suffice for me.

1. Given the games you wish to play I think you will be disappointed.

The GTX 1050 101st / The 560x is ranked 121st ...
https://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Graphics-Cards-Benchmark-List.844.0.html

Everything is pretty weak on those boxes, all the way down to a 5400 rpm HD

2. For the games you have listed, we generally recommend a 1060 as the entry point, if ya willing to drop the settings a bit, then the 1050 Ti

50,000 Rupee is about $724 US dollars ..... here a custom built lappie with i7-8750H , 1060, 250 GB SSD, 1 TB HD, 2 x 8GB (2666) and al the goodies w/ 15.6' screen runs about $1200, drop $100 for the same laptop w/ 1050 Ti

Be aware that neither Asus nor Acer actually make a laptop. All of their models are made by ODMs and many of the more gaming oriented models are made by Pegatron who also owns AsRock and designs and designs and builds many Asus desktop products.

Quanta sells to (among others) HP, Lenovo, Apple, Acer, Toshiba, Dell, Sony, Fujitsu and NEC
Compal sells to (among others) Acer, Dell, Toshiba, Lenovo and HP/Compaq
Wistron sells to Dell, Acer, Lenovo and HP
Inventec sells to Toshiba, HP, Dell and Lenovo
Pegatron sells to Asus, Toshiba, Apple, Dell and Acer
Foxconn sells to Asus, Dell, HP and Apple
Flextronics sells to HP

I dunno if you have outfits around like we do here whereby you can "rent" a laptop for a month or so ... I'd want to actually play on those lappies for a bit before committing to a purchase. If it were me, I'd wait until I could increase my budget by 50% or so. If your budget is set in stone, I can't be of much use to you any further as I have no personal experience at this buget level and any further advice I gave you would be just parrotiing sources you have already googled.

The two videocards seem to be pretty similar, though there are a few games where one or the other appear to have a clear edge.

I wouldn't suggest either videocard honestly. Not sure about pricing in India, but I bought a laptop for $799.99 last year, and it had a 1060 Max-Q, which puts those two alternatives to shame. Not really sure though what the best deal on a similar laptop would be in India.

Whoaa, agreed thoroughly,
One thing i wanna add...I hav had my previous laptop which was an Asus ROG GL552JX rocking an i7 4720 n gtx 950M and i was happy with it too.It played CS GO,PUBG at mid settings and I had no problems with it.
Thus i wanted to stick to Asus products only!
Also at my native place the pricing of the Mid-Top tier laptops is wayy beyond my budget so all i cpuld find something which wont b a burden for me now are the above mentioned laptops.
Keeping it short i hope that the GPUs in both the mentioned laptops would outperform the GTX 950M ..So i could choose one..but which one i should go with left me in predicament-GTX 1050 or RX 560X...Any suggestions u got there.!

GTX 1050 looks to be a "slightly" better option than the RX 560X, but not significantly. Both however totally outclass a 950M.

A 1050 lands about halfway between a 960M and a 970M.

So almost finalisied the 1050 one...but one last thing to ask-
The CPU..the chip with the RX 560X is better than The one paired with gtx 1050..wont this make any difference in gaming/performance?

Very unlikely. I mean, a faster cpu is nice, but I believe a 1050 will bottleneck either of those cpus.

My laptop has a i5-8300H, and it doesn't perform any worse in most games than laptops with i7-8750H's.

Gaming laptops are just a waste of money. For gaming get a desktop.
For portability... Ask yourself what you really need to do on the go, sometimes a tablet or even a good phone are enough in this day.

Gaming laptop are not a waste of money, it really depends on the person's situation and space. I would love a desktop but on a 32 foot sailboat, I dont have room for a desktop in the future. Actually, I might need to downsize to a 15incher from a 17in. laptop.

You need just a small table and a chair, stop exaggerating. Same for a laptop used for gaming, plus a stand, otherwise will catch on fire...
With the same money you definitely get better hardware, plus you won't have the horrible overheating issues.
Especially in a hot climate as India, without AC in the house, that laptop will shut off in 30' or less while gaming.

Not everyone likes having a desktop when it comes to space, there will always be argument over this but at the end of the day if someone rather use a laptop then so be it or if they have a desktop already but travel a lot and would like to play PC games on their travels then a gaming laptop fits the bill perfectly fine provided you have the funds or if you like exclusive titles and various games available for the Nintendo Switch then that is also a great choice for portable gaming solution.

Personally if it was me and you're happily to go maxed out on your budget on a laptop id go for the Acer Nitro 5 with the 1050ti that I link as it handle all your games you listed a lot better than the 1050 or 560x.
But if you don't fancy doing that then either one would be fine like I said in my previous comment.
