Im hoping you havent ordered it yet...
You need to read through the links in this post, Intel is not a good choice anymore and unlikely to be for a few years.
Also gives a guide on how to spec parts depending on build use.

RGB, you say? Something that’s close to my own heart. I’ve just knocked together an shiny AMD build that’s superior to an Intel spec and will suit you down to the ground for 1080p with a hint of ray tracing. And it will last you the best part of a decade if you want to upgrade your GPU and monitor every so often 👍

Being in stock at the time of ordering doesnt mean so much these days... with resupply being tricky, the constant flow into the warehouse has had problems. There will have been other orders waiting that are marked for that stock before you do, right now, if its on the configurator, then they are expecting fresh stock in but its not as reliable/frequent as normal, so you can still get caught waiting if near the end of the queue.

To be truthful, i'd cancel and lose the 17 days or attempt to switch to AMD via PCS customer service (to try saving your spot).

You dont want intel, its as simple as that. Thermal flaws, security issues, performance is weaker...list goes on... AgentCoopers build would wipe the floor with what you have spec'd
