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).

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...
