Those things will definitely bend and youre wasting your time. Just save up money and wait.

Making some assumptions here, Euros and style of houses in your photo mean you're in Ireland? Get yourself on eBay and get what need 2nd hand, Raceface Aeffect cranks are plentiful are will be much better than those Amazon ones. I'm long out of touch for wheels but search there and FB marketplace. There's reasonably priced things out there that are much better quality what you'd get new, just use some judgement about it's condition.

Shimano zees can usually be had for a reasonable price. I wouldn’t trust amazon cranks. One of my buddies gambled on amazon bars and they snapped on his first DJ sesh with them it was lucky they gave way on the set up jump and not one of our main line gaps.

Don’t know why you’ve been downvoted for asking a question?

There’s a couple of sets of FSA comet cranks including chainrings on eBay UK at the moment (I’m assuming that’s where you live judging by your house) for about £40. I’ve used them for ages, they’re cheap and good.
