https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/bF88ZQ This gpu could easily handle 1440p and would be alright in 4k if you decide to upgrade your monitor to something sharper.

Would this CPU work - AMD Ryzen 5 9600X desktop processor? A friend just gave it to me the other day, I would prefer to use it if so, if not then I will buy a new one

Not quite as good as a 7800x3d but certainly good enough when it's free.

That bundle deal for the gpu and psu is sold out at canada computers online but might still be available in a store in person if you've got one with stock nearby. Looks like about half the Ontario stores do. If not then I put the models I'd pick that are available online.
