An AMD CPU would be the better option but since you've already ordered no point in making any drastic changes. There are a few things worth considering.
- PCS, Seagate or samsung are better options for your m.2 drives
- The upgraded warranty is worth the extra £5.
- Get the 1660 Super if your budget allows for it.
- Remove the bullguard antivirus, word on here is its more problematic than its worth and windows defender does a better job.

Thanks for the feedback, forgive me but dont know much about hardware.

Whats makes the difference between AMD and Intel cpu's?
Also aren't SSD's the same?
Whats a 1660 super?

Sorry for the questions lol

The 1660 Super is a graphics card, but I don't think it's actually available on the model you've chosen so that's a moot point.

Not all SSDs are created equal, and Intel's have a lower maximum write capacity than most others. Meaning that the amount of times data can be written onto it before it fails is about half of other brands. We don't recommend them.

AMD processors are much better than Intel's these days, there's some info in the link below:

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...

I changed the processor to an amd chip that I believe was the Intel price equivalent.
Alo changed the 1tb ssd to samsung 1tb ssd.
