Yeah I'd change it to an AMD build

AMD Vs Intel

So some of you aren't aware of the reasons why so many people are heading away from Intel to AMD, so thought it would be important to lay that out for people to refer back to. A lot of you will go to cpubenchmark or userbenchmark to find performance metrics for CPU's. These sites are complete...

If you've paid already, simply cancel the order and make a new build or ring them (expect to wait long) and ask the cs rep to change to AMD.
