I'm seeking recommendations for a great CPU, motherboard, and RAM setup under $500 CAD. I'd like Canadian options and prefer a micro ATX board. Thanks!

You already have everything. So go ahead or wait for September. At that stage, Zen 3 is likely to be out. If you’re not upgrading right now, wait for Zen 3 and see what it offers before deciding.

Upcoming upgrade in September looks good. Current setup includes an RX 570 GPU, an Intel i5 2400 CPU, DQ67SW motherboard, 8GB DDR3 RAM at 1333MHz, a RoseWill SRM-01B-450 micro ATX case, and a 450W power supply.

Agreed, wait for Zen 3 release. Should be available around that time. Not sure about the exact model, but we should plan an upgrade then too.
