I did my own research as well and *most* reviews and tech guys are saying AMD is a far better choice currently for multiple reasons. I'm not sure any of us here are pro gamers, so what are the benefits?
Intel are also looking to switch to 7nm? And new motherboards? And they've headhunted...
I'm just passing on what I've read on here a few times.
The advice is often buy a console or wait and save the extra £250 to get a much better PC that will last you a lot longer. You can cancel your order.
I'd recommend having your build checked on the forum for use, compatibility and bottlenecks. That's the only benefit of this long waiting time. But it's helped me a lot and actually saved me money.
Go to your account and "my orders"
Scroll down to awaiting dispatch and order dispatched for better explanation.
It looks like your system will leave this afternoon and be delivered tomorrow. But you will receive emails later I believe, after 3pm
Scott recommended some changes and then whiskey Mac put those into your build above.
The M2 drive's are much faster yes.
Here's a guide explaining the different components really well:

No I've come forward to Thursday for estimated..... I can hope that I just get an email saying your system is being built tomorrow or Wednesday, but hey I don't want it rushed and if testing is completed on Friday I could get it Saturday if I pay for the delivery
But next week is fine if not
This is a slightly confusing thread. Possibly best to cancel the original order, think about the monitor/GPU advice and also consider new GPU's are out in the autumn/winter.
Samsung are also releasing some high quality monitors, although curved which you said you don't like, but might bring...
I don't think people can advise you on a non-pcs build, you can try Tom's hardware for that.
That CPU is probably overpowered for just gaming. You'd be fine with the 3600 I think. 3300x is out of stock unfortunately.
You want to up the motherboard to the 550 or even 570. The 450 is the old...
Get a lesser GPU now and get yourself something from the 3000 series, save a bit more cash and get an Odyssey G7 monitor. You could(will) end up with something near the top of the line for that budget I believe? If you save £400 on the PC now, the monitor is £450 for the 27". And the (edit)3060...
Sorry yes its 120Hz and is lesser in a few other ways, the curve and other technical things. I think £800 would be what they might aim for, but it would still seem a bit high maybe.
I might get a 2070S and the 32" G7 now. Then see where we are with GPU's next year and the price of the current...
