Hello... It's too bad that you live in Canada. If you could Drive to the USA and find a MicroCenter or have a Friend buy the Parts then Ship them to you, it would really be worth it. Unfortunately this Combo can't be bought online for this Price. They have a Bundle Deal right now for a Combo of a Ryzen 7 5800X3D, a ASUS TUF B550 Gaming WiFi II ATX Motherboard, and 16GB of DDR4 3200Mhz CL16 RAM. This whole Bundle is only $300 USD. Here is the Link for it.

 

MicroCenter - AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, ASUS TUF Gaming B550 Plus WiFi II, G.Skill Ripjaws V 16GB DDR4-3200 Kit, Computer Build Bundle $299.99

 

That being said all I can offer you is a new ASRock B550 Motherboard, 32GB RAM & 2TB M.2 Storage. I would hold onto the 3700X for right now and wait to drop in a 5700X3D into the new B550 Motherboard. Having a B550 will allow you to use Gen4 Speeds for the M.2 and the GPU. When you can afford the 5700X3D and a new GPU (RX 7600 XT 16GB) a $600 Upgrade for the pair. But for now just the new Motherboard, RAM, and M.2, The new M.2 will double the Speed you currently have making things much faster. The WD Blue 500GB SSD that you have is only Gen3 and a really slow one at that. When you get the new B550 Motherboard be sure to Update the BIOS if the 3700X does not work right away.

 

Please let me know what you think and I am happy to answer any questions you might have.

 

I have been building PCs for over 30 years so if you have any questions please ask. For future communication I use Discord for much faster response times as I have it open 24/7. Here is my Discord: Wizardsnapper#2772 I am also available if you need help before, during, or after the Build process on Discord through Voice or Video Chat. I can be with you while you build your new PC if you need me to be.
