That's a healthy budget but I think you can do better for the money. Give me a minute and I'll sort a more balanced build.

FWIW I think you should be considering 1440p over 1080p (old hat)

Saving £10 and having a more rounded, more future proof, system.

Upgrade options would be the X570 motherboard and the 2070 GPU (either would be amazing for this build, both would be sublime).

Note that the current build is 1440P, with the above upgrades it would be HIGH end 1440p. 1080p is not a great option with your budget in mind.

You can cancel the order without any issues. Just go into your order page and there should be a cancellation option.

Always a good idea to propose a build for scrutiny :)

Don't worry, honestly. It's definitely there. I can't remember my account to go in and check how to do it but I'm sure it's under "my account" then "my orders" or something like that.

If you're really struggling then give them a call in the morning and you can sort it out :)

You should be able to cancel it during the processing stage I would have thought? if not, maybe that's why :)

Is this x570 (ASUS® TUF X570-PLUS GAMING (USB 3.2 Gen 2, PCIe 4.0, CrossFireX) - RGB Ready!) ok? I can upgrade the GPU in the future

I'm not sure if I follow? The Motherboard is completely different from the rest of your original build?
