Can someone check this build for me?

I’m looking at the following pre built system It ticks all the boxes for me apart from knowing a new CPU release from AMD is coming. My understanding is that the motherboard would still accept future AMD 4000 cpus ?
You may ask why not wait? I’m concerned at availability and price increases as this is already slightly over budget at around £2600. I’ve built pc in the past but this one as said is prebuilt and therefore less hassle as life is a little hectic at present!
Thoughts on this build? Used for gaming on a due anytime Dell s2721DGF

I would definitely wait for the 5000 and if you need to cut costs then the aio the motherboard and the NVME as these wont make no difference for gaming, maybe go with some faster samsung B-die ram too.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Asus ROG Strix B550-F Gaming (AMD AM4) B550 ATX Motherboard= £169.99
1 x Arctic Liquid Freezer II High Performance CPU Water Cooler - 360mm= £99.95
1 x Team Group 8Pack Edition 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 PC4-28800C16 3600MHz Dual Channel Kit= £209.99

Total: £490.43 (includes shipping: £10.50)

I'd wait till you have a 3080 in hand or being shipped before you get the CPU and even then an 8 core zen 3 should handily beat a 12 core zen 2.

Agreed dont spend that much money on a build like that until the next gen ryzen is out and avaialble. Otherwise its a nice build

Thanks for the suggestions and advice. I will hold off until the announcement from AMD. I've not seen any leaked specs on what the new processors may bring.

Thanks for the link. Popped up as I was doing the same. If the leaks are accurate that's well worth waiting for!

Absolutely.

It's going to boil down to stock levels.
