You can still amend the order and you will probably want to do so or cancel it altogether.

The H110i cooler is wildly, wildly excessive for an i7 8700, which you won't even be overclocking. I'd frankly suggest getting a pre-overclocked system (which needs to be ordered under a separate configurator), or saving yourself ~£80 and going with a cheaper cooler.

You're spending £2.6k+ on a system with only a GTX 1060 (!!) in it. That's truly shocking bad value. You should be looking at a GTX 1080 at the least.

You're spending £420 on a 1080p high refresh monitor, when 1440p high refresh monitors cost barely any more. Some even cost a good deal less.

I'd also suggest 3000MHz RAM.

The 1000W PSU is a total waste. You don't need that for anything short of GTX 1080 ti SLI, which would be for 4k gaming at ultra settings, and your spec is nowhere near that.

I would suggest you give some serious consideration to cancelling the order, and posting up your budget and intended use(s) for the PC to get some advice before proceeding.

I can't think of anything scenario where the above is best value for you, and it would be a shame to spend so much on a system only to be disappointed with what it offers you.

I would hugely echo what Oussebon says, you can spend the same money and get a MUCH better performing system.
