Thank you again for the replies. I have decided so far on the following:
1. 100% going for the 7800X3D for CPU
2. Dropping down to a B650 board.
I was looking at the ROG Strix B650 boards and saw there is a 650E-E and 650E-F and couldn't tell what the difference is for one to be £60 cheaper? (Leaning towards the £60 cheaper one as a result)
3. GPU - agree no need to spend extra on the TUF version of the 4700 Super. So I've gone for the basic ASUS model the Dual EVO.
4. RAM upgraded to 6000mhz per recommendations above.
Basket now looks like:
My basket at OcUK:
Included both motherboards for comparison
Edit: This does leave me with a little headroom budget wise and after a few people mentioned it I am considering a new PSU as well. Better safe than sorry. Would 850W be enough for this?
