Coming back to this after a week off and after having had a lovely PM from CTF where he too suggested the Mortar, I was all ready to purchase when...

The Mortar is either EOL or in high demand. OCUK have an ETA of 08/02, Scan (who I'd rather not use) are showing overdue since 11/18, Amazon are on back order and so on.

In better news, I picked up an RX 580 for £185 last week so I've made some progress.

I'll probably start grabbing the other bits this week, but I now have to find a replacement board.

Still to purchase:

CPU: AMD - Ryzen 5 2600 3.4 GHz 6-Core Processor (£143.98 @ Aria PC)
Motherboard: TBD
Memory: Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory (£114.97 @ CCL Computers)
Storage: *Crucial - MX500 500 GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive (£65.25 @ Amazon UK)
Case: Fractal Design - Define Mini C TG MicroATX Mid Tower Case (£84.89 @ More Computers)
Power Supply: Corsair - TXM Gold 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply (£77.48 @ Amazon UK)
Operating System: Microsoft - Windows 10 Home OEM 64-bit (£94.92 @ PC World Business)

£581.49 + Mobo

Back to you I'm afraid
