There are loads of options. Limiting yourself to Amazon, especially in Canada, is going to cost you a lot more money.

how long would I have to wait for the parts to come?

I'm sure it wouldn't be more than a week.

Even in your own build you have parts that aren't from Amazon.

If you really need it quicker than that, you could pay for express shipping (varies store to store) or just buy locally from a retailer.

I have only a few things in ryzen, but nothing that can't be overcome right now, or fixed with a BIOS update in a little while. They are non-entities IMO, if you're going to be running latest windows version or linux, the worst one is IMO the C states for power saving features, but this should get fixed in a bit I think, and TBH it doesn't really matter all that much. You would be ina  better position for sure with a ryxen CPU and an AM4 board, and if you want to in a  year or 2 the upgrade path should be pretty solid and should only need a new CPU if you even need it.

I am very impressed with ryzen TBH, I ahve had very few problems other than what I already mentioned above, and although my ram is only running at 2666Mhz when it should be 3000Mhz, it doesn't really show and should be able to be fixed in a little bit again. I upgraded from i7 6700K at 4.7Ghz and this is much faster for my workload and ahve more cores/threads to use for VMs etc. This is my own personal view and my experience with ryzen, if anyone has any negatives with this cpu that they have personally experienced I would love to hear it.

Really? In the build you laid out the CPU, HDD, video card, case and power supply are all from places other than Amazon.

You also don't need a PSU that powerful.
