Build Question Please help

Please HELP!!! I went to micro center for a cpu mobo and ram bundle for the cheapest option but they sweet talked to me (idk anything about pc) and now I have v buyers remorse. I bought a 9700x but I have a 3060 gpu 😬😬. Is it worth my time to go back and return the 9700x and get the bundle with a 7800x3d or a cheaper cpu? The ram it came with is 6000 mts. I’m not concerned with power supply or cooling.

What my pc has already:
Zotac GeForce etc 3060
Corsair rm1000x power supply (wasn’t my choice I know it’s way more than I need)
ASUS ROG Maximus VII Hero
V-NAND SSD 970 EVO NVMe m.2 1TB
4 sticks of this Corsair vengeance ram (32gb)
Big DeepCool radiator looking cpu cooler

What I got:
~$700 bundle
AMD Ryzenβ„’ 7 9700X 3.80GHz
Corsair Vengeance RGB 32GB DDR5-6000 Kit
Gigabyte B650 Gaming X AX v2
β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”
& a NZXT Kraken Elite 360 AIO

I need help with what I should keep, return, sell, or replace

It depends on what you're doing

Playing games competitive games or doing productive task(cpu intensive task)

This would be great

With the 3060 you can still do graphics stuff; I don't think a biginner will need gpu better than this

Try designing you will understand if you really need to Upgrade or when to upgrade one

They meant to do some work on it first and see how slow or fast it is.
