I've got a ryzen 3600x, h100i,Gamerock OC 3080, 750w Corsair semi modular. 16gb 3600mhz Corsair vengeance black RGB, 1TB ADATA SSD, 2tb barracuda HD.
A bit off from my ideal spec, but I figured id take the plunge as I might regret waiting. Now just the wait for downloads!
I can't imagine them being the most popular choice at their price point. From what I understand they had a delivery this week and actually advertised as having available stock. I have been told that the 3080 in my build is the Palit Gamerock OC
I've received an email from them confirming it's been dispatched, they genuinely built it in 1 day (I paid 75 pounds for the privilege) they gave me a DPD consignment number which checks out as valid on the DPD website confirming it will be with me tomorrow
I paid a premium for more or less an identical build. My build with PCS come out around 2172, my build with other company was 2300, with a poorer PCIe 3.0 SSD.
I've cancelled my PCS order as they didn't deal with my complaint appropriately. Ordered via other means on Thursday and will receive my 3080 build tomorrow by 11am. Won't post the name of company here however
Scott thank you for explaining the way PCS operate, it makes sense that it would be a logistical nightmare to reserve 3080s for builds awaiting other parts. The gripe here is that a lot of what you are saying is at odds with the experience we've had.
For example, I emailed PCS last week to...
Agreed, like others have said PCS are doing what they can. I don't buy Nvidia saying it's a 'phenomenon' that these cards have sold out... Surely you can gauge interest from loads of places pre launch (Google searches/page visits etc). Let's hope Big Navi next month forces them to release some...
I enquired again last night, I was told that my order was just awaiting the H115i cooler but has not been recieved yet. Due to get another shipment on 21st apparently, we will wait and see
So below is the basics of my conversation with them, my first question was what's the likelihood of receiving before Xmas due to mass 3080 shortages. Like mentioned in the email, I called PCS on 9th to confirm that the actual build date looks set for next week, and this wasn't just an operative...
Yeah it's interesting.... I was told by phone and also email that my build that I ordered on early hours of 20th September should be built by end of this week (16th). I am apparently just awaiting stock for my h115i platinum cooler. I confirmed with both reps that this was considering the 3080...
Might be worth checking in again with PCS. I've had a chat to them today, apparently my 3080 has now been assigned and they should be posting out by 19th, they are just awaiting stock for the cooler before they build.
Hey guys - posted a spec last week to ask for some advice.
Unexpected bill has come up meaning I'd like to keep my budget around £2k/£2100 tops now (previous spec was around £2500) so I've specced out a new PC.
Could you look at the below and let me know if theres a smarter way to spend? I'm...
Hey guys, sorry to bump this. Looked at some benchmarks and looking to save money where I can. PC doesn't necessarily need a clear upgrade path as I envisage the build lasting a while.
For cost saving, id be willing to sacrifice PCIe 4.0 support, meaning I'd be happy with a standard NVME SSD...
