OK, you finally got it right

The NX3000 is an exceptionally good camera. And you got a brand new one for a very good price. The NX1000 was OK, in it's day, but you are much better off with the NX3000 and an NX kit lens.

Now.... unless you plan to start collecting NX cameras sell off the NX1000 and any Canon legacy lenses and adapters you have. Just get rid of the stuff.

You should have learned something from your NX1000 plus old Canon lens experience. A "newbie" shouldn't be searching for a real challenge, like using mismatched lenses and bodies, and be forced to shoot in manual modes.

All of that will come later, but right now you should be enjoying all the automation that your NX3000 will give you.

I really think you made a good decision with the NX3000.  Now, be patient and wait for some nice NX lenses to come on the used market.  Since the entire system has been discontinued, you might find some great lenses at very good prices in the future.

And some of those NX lenses are really wonderful.
