Would be some massive PR for them to reward all those that got it right with the board, CPU and RAM (and other goodies), as long as we leave a review of the system afterwards, imagine the positive publicity they'd garner!!
Yep my mistake - I saw his later post but missed the earlier one.
Edit to add that case actually looks very nice.

Thank you so, so much!
As I said in my PM to @MSIUK Support, I actually bought a B450 Tomahawk MAX and 3700X a few weeks back but got cold feet about upgrading and sold it all. Therefore this could not be better timing! My 4770K will finally be retired
Time to go on the hunt for some DDR4 RAM so that I can put all of this together when it arrives

Nice board though, plenty features. @thewanted could you not expand some how to add usb-c?

I dare say that the RAM is the most difficult thing to choose! So much choice out there.
