The trouble is do we know this is true? Seems like a different story depending on who you speak to. When I was changing from Intel to AMD some staff were telling me that I had to cancel and reorder when that wasn’t the case.

I’m not bothering to change my order again and it turns out that my computer won’t be arriving any sooner. Yes it’s annoying and I had to give my brother the old Vortex IV as he was desperate for a working laptop for his studies (more like playing GTA in the study room 🤣).

The same applies for me, i asked through the messaging system on the account they said i had to cancel and there was no other way. I then rang and they changed it all from Intel to AMD within a day.

I think if they were consistent in the info they give they wouldn't get as many complaints, however i do sympathise with them. With production wait times for new cards and covid in general effecting work/delivery times. I really don't envy them

Me too.

I was expecting there to be a problem with 3080 availability, so it was almost a pleasant surprise for it to be the power supply (easily upgraded for another £29). Ordered on November 7, now forecasting build on November 30. Given the reported problems with 3080, I will take that.

Going for a "standard" 3080. Not TUF, Strix, etc. Given that I am currently using a GT930 I am expecting to see big improvements.

So I made an amendment to my order at around 3pm today. Paid confirmed an all that. Then at around 3:20pm I had the long awaited email saying my order has gone into building!! Now being on 45+ days of pre-production I am thrilled at this news, but do you think the amended changes would have even been noticed given the small time scale between the amendment and the going into building email?

Either way am so hyped now!! :)

What amendment did you make?

Glad you’ll get your computer soon 🥳

Does anyone know how long it's taking them to answer emails right now roughly? I can't call during the day, the wait is just too long. :(

It arrived yesterday! After almost 2 months of waiting it is finally here. Although I ordered a 3080FE I received a Zotac gaming trinity 3080 but i am not going to complain. Got a bit of a motion sickness by shooting around in Division2 on the new ultrawide. It is a beast of a machine especially after my 14" 8 year old laptop. I know it sucks waiting but your order will arrive eventually and when it does you all forget about the days spent refreshing your orders status page.

Happy gaming!

Where did you order your Founder’s Edition from, out of curiosity?

PCS don’t offer the FE, only a lucky dip of various aftermarkets.

anyone else got an email about 850W RMx stock and advice to change to something else? earlier they said these are due to arrive on 27th, but seems like something's gone wrong there

Unsure if replied to earlier but I got the same email. After 2 hours on hold got through and they said no more stock until 2021 so worth swapping to another model. I went to the £1 cheaper 850w PSU (I'm afraid I can't remember the exact model...) that only has fewer SATA ports. Not an issue with my build so went ahead.

Was told categorically it won't come in before my 3080 strix (ordered 20/10/2020); cue change.

so got an email today about them processing my order however the case was out of stock. just changed it now. hoping that means it should go into building sometime today. right ?

Same email re 850w PSU. Same question re: moving into build- the answer is no having gotten through to PCS. It won't guarantee going into build. Technically it says they are in processing and an item is out of stock - so even if changed it wouldn't be guaranteed to move out of processing into build - esp. if the 3080 is the cause of the logjam not PSU/Case

That’s what I was trying to piece together, did OP think he had that choice with PCS or has he ordered the GPU from elsewhere and they’ve sent him the wrong one?

I’ve been up since 5am and had 750ml of blood drained out of me today, I’m perhaps not reading it correctly in my current state 😆
