Good idea I went for the amd alsoYeahh! I saw your build and thought it was similar to mine tooexcept I’m going AMD gpu instead. I am thinking about fast tracking it too though, for £30 extra will hopefully jump ahead of the others ordering the new X3D CPUs
It's finally time!

Surprisingly yes, i guess at some point it needs to go back into the queue and wait for the pre order chips

Good idea, you dont need the extra features of the hero unless you plan on overclocking
Yea that what I was thinking I've already amended it and emailed them asking when the chips are coming in.

True, I keep hearing to wait for OLED though, so I'm hoping some really nicce ones come out in 2023 - but really want to get one soon!

I've got the Samsung G9, the non neo one.
I really like Samsung monitors, they're not perfect but they shoot for insane specs while remaining good price.
Wouldn't be without it now, the OLED one is just going to be absolutely insane.

Ergh, I'm not sure if it's just system generated alerts or if their support staff aren't checking with their warehouse but I'm now getting alerts that my PC is being shipped. On one hand, that build time/dispatch time is awesome! But I don't actually want it dispatched with the CPU I orginally ordered..!
In live chat with them now... :'(

Ok, so update.. looks like they were preparing it for dispatch this morning as I got all the DPD tracking details ect emailed to me. After the chat I had, their warehouse is closed until Monday so it's not being dispatched yet, they have also put a hold on the dispatch (why it got to that stage anyway when it had a pending task to change the CPU - im not too sure..). Feeling abit more happy now, if it turns up on my doorstep Monday/Tuesday though I'm actually going to cry...
On a more positive note, the support team on the live chat are super friendly and good to deal with, not sure I can put names here, but they seemed super chill and happy to have a chat. Said how good the specs were, what his current pc specs were and how jealous he was (haha!) and what sort of monitors to look at for it! Unexpected to see but loved the casual chat, nothing like I normally have to deal with when doing support calls with *ell and other tech companies.
Anyways, fingers crossed it all pans out now.

What a bumpy ride
So, I never saw my PC go back into build or get changed at any point, it went from "in testing" to be dispatched, even though I asked for them to amend the CPU. So I was happy to wait the time it took for them to get the 7950X3D in stock.
This morning I get more notifications about it being dispatched, even though on Saturday they said it was going to be blocked and go back to the builders to await for the CPU's to arrive, which they said it would be a few weeks.
Now I've spoke to them a couple of times and apparently it has the correct 7950X3D chip in it (confirmed multiple times) and it is being dispatched today. Now, I don't know if I'm super lucky and jumped the queue, or where they magically got the chip from. I still have bad feelings it's got the wrong chip in it, but guess I'll find out tomorrow..

They might have gotten a stock of X3Ds ahead of launch date, so easy enough to swap it out. But I'm sure if the non X3D version is installed when you get it, they'll be quick enough to resolve the issue. Would you be tempted to get them to just send the correct CPU out to you and you fit it yourself in that scenario? Might be quicker than packing PC back up, shipping it back etc?What a bumpy ride

I'm really hoping that is the case, I've had multiple support members confirm that it's the correct CPU. I just find that hard to believe when other staff have said they wont get them for weeks/months.
If it is wrong, then yeah I'd rather just do a CPU swap myself rather than sending the whole PC back. It's the main reason I don't want them to dispatch with the wrong chip it's just risking damage in transport with it going backwards and forwards.
