In seattle we have a non profit community bike reuse store. Lots of people donate their old race bikes so there are bikes and bins of old parts. Course its closed with the virus but when open it made it easy and very economical to keep my old road bike ticking.
Ill echo what others have said, new parts will add up quickly. There was a time when you could source 'grey market' shimano from chain reaction cycles in ireland but shimano closed that loophole, so good parts are expensive.
Used old cx bikes with disc brakes are less than $1k here complete. Canti? Ha, $600? Less? So unless its a super nice frame (high end custom steel: If, cielo,...) You should probably donate the frame and buy someone elses complete. Life is short, buy something you love.
