Thanks for your reply,

I posted in the wrong section. I asked a member of staff at PCSpecialist via chat to check my specs as it was for gaming and he told me that it all looked good so I went ahead and ordered it. Not sure what happens if I amend the order. Will it drop back to the beginning of the queue again?

Rather disappointed to be honest that he never picked up on the RAM etc.
It is to be used for gaming and mu budget was seriously restricted to £1200 max

I think it depends on whether the parts you changed to are in stock. If they are then it shouldn't change your location in the queue (note that I don't work for PCS).

PCS build what you order. They only guarantee that the parts will work together, not that you're getting the best bang for your buck.

The 2400MHz RAM will work perfectly fine, which is why the PCS rep told you it looked good. PCS have no idea of your maximum budget remember, so there's no way they can advise you on better components. That's what these fora are for. :)

Thank you everyone for all the help.

I changed the 16GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR4 2400MHz (2 x 8GB) to 3200MHz
Warranty upgraded to Silver.
Unfortunately, the WiFi card was out of stock so I just kept the current one for now.

The help I received was very much appreciated and next time, I will make sure I post the possible spec before purchasing. :)
