This is over your remaining budget of $750 CAD.

If this is too much, you can switch the following:

• AMD 5800X to AMD 5600X
  
• X570 motherboard to B550 motherboard
  

made this list for you

Using USD (1004 CAD). Some of these parts can be changed as you see fit though.

Specifically the memory, RGB is a bit more expensive also Crucial and G-Skill are good options. For AMD 3600 is sweet spot, especially for zen 3, but can go with 3200 if you must.

If you want to drop down 1 gen, the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 is a solid chip. And should be for a while yet.

As far as cooler goes, that's really a personal preference. I prefer AIO cooling, but you can still OC with a good Air cooler as well. This being a good one https://www.scytheus.com/fuma2

To be as completely honest as possible, you SHOULD upgrade your case as well. The Corsair 4000d and Fractal design Meshify C are 2 of the best "budget" cases right now. Easy to build in and worthy of being high end

Mobo's are really based more on what you plan to do with it. I plugged in the one I run. Personal thought is "I'd buy it again if I had to". But pretty much any b550 or better from MSI/ASUS/AsRock are good.

M.2 for your boot disk is the only way to go anymore.

new list with a few "cheaper" parts
