My nephew is getting a PC to build for Christmas and one of the parts he wanted was a 1660 ti or super. I've been tasked with getting the parts and I'd held off pulling the trigger on the GPU waiting for black Friday. My thinking was that with the new cards coming out prices would drop, but...

Gaming trio. Was 2 weeks of F5ing and responding to Twitter and discord stock alerts but eventually got lucky.

So mine came Tuesday. Very pleased with it, well packaged and very tidy build (slightly ruined by me putting my 3080 and associated power cables in). Unbelievably quiet as well.

Can only echo that. Just got email saying mine will be dispatched tomorrow. First email I got had estimated build date of the 30th November and they have beat that by a few days. I didn't have a GPU so clear this is where the majority of issues are coming from. Outside of that had good...

Never mind box, get back on that PC 😂

Thanks and you! Mine just gone into test, hopefully get it on Monday (maybe to much to hope for the weekend).

That's what I done. Yes took a bit of effort but in the end got the card (3080) way before my PC, which as it happens has gone into build this morning 🎊

I've done the same :)

It all depends what he'll be using it for, but assuming it's the same thing my 12 year old would use if for (games and occasionally homework) I think you will be fine. 16gb of ram is fine and that system should run games at full details given the monitor resolution. Longer term there are...

Congrats all. Mine been pushed back to 30th in todays email (was the 27th last week) but I'd still take that :)

Thanks very much (y) Enjoy your new build!

Brilliant, I'm a few minutes behind you. Fingers crossed they have enough stock for me :)

Good luck! I want your date to be true as much as you, that will mean mine is more likely :)

Build date.

The supply of GPU and CPU's is all over the place at the moment. Scan announced they were getting a shipment of 5800x's last weekend and when they opened the box it was 5900x's. You then had a large amount of very disappointed people (and some very happy people!). Having no queue number isn't...

I got an update this morning, has now come in to the 27th of Nov from the 30th. Not sure how likely that is but fingers crossed :)

Not sure what you mean? Is that directed at me? I bought a 3070 as had give up on a 3080 but got lucky on a 3080 and returned the 3070. The 3080 was ordered before the 3070 was delivered so just declined delivery.

There are several discord channels that alert in stock and I'd recommend following the twitter account part alerts. You have to be quick but when buying my cards the 3070's alerted more and stayed up longer (minutes rather than seconds). My other tip would be follow some smaller UK based...

I cant comment on PCS but there definitely seems to be more 3070's on the market.

I think the problem is that nobody expected it to be this bad.
