Should I build a pc, and help finding the parts?

So in this current climate lots of uncertainy has been circling around everywhere. Businesses are closed shipping has been reduced and countries have closed borders.

However, my question is whether or not it is "Worth" buying a pc? Are parts more expensive because of reduced stock? Will shipping be more expensive because of it?

I was doing a little digging to see what I could find because I wanted to build a pc with the stimulus check the government is giving to people ($2000).

I basically want a pc that can game and also be pretty good at video editing as well. I was hoping to spend about $1400-$1500 on parts (have the rest for Peripherals) and have some saved over. This is what the prices were for the parts (all on Newegg.ca)

 

Ryzen 7 3700x for $438

Ryzen 5 3600 for $282 or Ryzen 5 3600x $309

MSI Geforce RTX 2070 $700 or Gigabyte Geforce RTX 2070 super $709

MSI Radeon RX 5600 XT $528 or Gigabyte Geforce RTX 2060 super $579 or Gigabyte Geforce RTX 2060 $500.

 

My questions would be should I go with a Ryzen 7 or 5? I would have to budge the remaining parts more if I opt for the 7, is it worth? also Don't really know what the best graphics cards are in the market right now (As indicated by the more extensive list) so any suggestions for that would be good. I heard the b450 Tomohawk MoBo is highy rated at the moment, also getting a kit of 16gb of ram will cost around $100 is that enough? I suppose you can always upgrade in the future, want to also get ssd for OS and HDD because I will be needing to save videos. Anyway enough of the ramble, any part suggestions would be much appreciated (Peripherals too)
