Only final changes I've made are;

• Decided that I don't really need 32Gb ram for gaming, so went with 8Pack Team Group 16Gb ram instead.
• For the £10 difference I've gone with the Superflow 750w PSU instead of the Superflow 650w.
• I figured that I may as well go with the X570 chipset over the B450 chipset as the extra cost still left me within my budget.
• Changed the 2Tb Seagate HDD for the 4Tb Western Digital Gold HDD
• Gone with an AIO over standard air cooling, as it should potential provide abit more cooling overhead for overclocking and again the additional cost fitted within my budget.
