looks juicy - I've bought a very weird niche PC as I need it for gambling.

I wouldn't recommend that build to be honest.

The Motherboard isn't good enough for that level of CPU
The RX550 isn't a great GPU at all
The M2 drive you have selected has less life than other options.

thank you for your comment. please could you help me out then - what motherboard will I need?
For the GPU I purely want to power up screens, I don't plan to game with it whatsoever. Are you sure something better is needed?
The M2 drive - what would you recommend as an alternative? I just need the space to power up like 20 virtual machines....

Start up a post with the spec asking for advice and I'll have a look. If you can go into your order and then click "post to forum" it will allow us to go into the link to re-configure.
