I would do something along these lines. 

 

With a £2500 budget you would still have money left if you wanted to change things around. You can buy a cheap key for W10 from somewhere that sells game keys i.e cjs-cdkeys.

Go with a dark rock 4 and a Sabrent 1tb drive, your 2700x doesn’t produce enough heat to need a pro 4, and Samsung ssd’s are overprice

 

and just buy a cheap windows 10 key off eBay.

AMD blackout rig

 

cpu: ryzen 5 3600 @4.4ghz @1.35v

gpu: rx5700xt 2200mhz

ram: vengeance lpx c15 3200mhz

I would swap the B450F for B450 Tomahawk MAX. 2700x for under $100? Let's go. 3200mhz RAM is not bad, but I would try to get 3600mhz if you plan to upgrade to Ryzen 3rd gen or 4th gen in the future. RTX 2070 Super is not bad, but you can save more if you go with RX 5700XT and add more storage.

Yeah, added 3600mhz Corsair Vengeance LPX Black but I still stayed with the RTX 2070 Super

Gotta be careful on which ram you get because my 2700x didnt like 3200mhz at all but then again i had amazing silicon quality allowing 4.2ghz all core oc at 1.375 volts.

Yep,

The 3600MHz CL16 RAM is faster than the usual 3600MHz CL18 kits,

5TB of storage,a case with good airflow,and a good motherboard that will handle any AM4 CPU.

Guessing you are buying from the UK ? If so then the builds above are in Dollars. You can just change the Country to the UK on pcpartpicker. What is your budget in £ ?

Just had a quick look on that cdkeys site and you are looking at £9.25 for a W10 Home edition key 🙂
