If it’s back in stock that’s the one to go for. It’s been out of stock for a little while, should have double checked 😅
So if I swap b450f to asus strix b550 f gaming and swap 2tb ssd for 2tb samsung 970 evo plus m.2
Hows that
It doesnt say it's out of stock on the site, seems to be in stock. And swapping the 2tb ssd for a 2tb 970 evo m.2, is that better?

Both solid changes 👍
Awesome. And as for the motherboard, what's the actual benefit to us of having this one versus the others beside build quality? We dont have experience in overclocking and dont really want to try, so is there any benefits for us?

Ok, and one other thing. Might be a bit of a curveball question but it's something we need to consider and dont know much about.
If we have two of these systems running at once, with two monitors, keyboard, mouse etc - we have a single socket by the wall where we want to install our pcs. If we used an extension lead, is it safe to have both these systems, with monitors and such plugged into and running from a single extension lead?
Were based in the UK if that helps.

Yeah it should be fine mate but make sure you get surge protected sockets to plug this stuff into
Your warranty is void I believe if you don't use a surge protector
