If you don't care how it looks, and you can't budge on budget:

I'd downgrade to as cheap of a case as possible (probably around $30)
Add an SSD, no modern gaming PC should be without one https://pcpartpicker.com/product/PchKHx/team-ms30-128-gb-m2-2280-solid-state-drive-tm8ps7128g0c101
There's faster ram for less, buy this instead https://pcpartpicker.com/product/JmyV3C/team-t-force-vulcan-z-16-gb-2-x-8-gb-ddr4-3200-memory-tlzrd416g3200hc16cdc01
~~At this point, you could do one of a few choices; if you want 6 cores, go 1600AF instead (if you can find it at the price it's supposed to be), if you're only gaming 3300X.~~ Scratch that, thanks to COVID price hikes you can't get either of those CPUs for remotely close to MSRP. The CPU you're trying to buy supposed to be around $100, but demand has risen while supply has dwindled, sadly. Upgrade PSU instead, go for this: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/FQ648d/corsair-power-supply-cp9020101na

why no ssd? Why no fans? I recommend the Asrock B450M PRO4-F since its the same thing but with usb type c, 4 ddr4's, 2 pcie x16 and its the same form factor (micro atx) and its probably the same price (sorry im in eu and they both cost the same but i bet they cost around the same in us). BUT. If you can wait a bit more you can get the b550 mobos with further support for newer cpu's and and higher pcie bandwidth, or you can get a b450 but at even lower price.
