Cheers for the info dude, did not realize this was part of the issue.
RTX 3080
- Thread starter GeaCon
- Start date
If there is anything I’ll let ya know, I was told about the build emails too, but that was more to do with the 3080 build, but all the components are in stock for the boys build so no excuse tbh
Hard to believe still in queue, over 2hrs, and if it’s not answered shortly I’ll have to do it all again as better half needs lift to work soon

I’m in a similar situation, nearly 2 hours wait on the phone. Been first in the queue for ages and off to work in a moment ☹️.
If you’re in the line and you move up a place, I’ve probably gone to work 😂

They did my build test and send out in same day, arrived 2 days after. Next day seems to be an extra day up our way so not too bad.

Did manage to get through just as about I was going to the car.
Not much help at all, lad couldn’t be bothered to investigate apart from blurting out nonsense and saying I’ll be waiting until January.
PCS, really not happy this time. I’ll build it myself at this rate.

Looks like they are not keeping the tracking of the build updated then so we can see what happening, it’s been their failing during this unprecedented year for covid and demand of the launch of 3080, if they only kept a page of updates like scan and overclockers it wouldn’t be so bad.
Sad to say but that’s where I go for a rough idea on the gpu situation, and lately there has been a splurge of cards being delivered to those two, so guessing PCS will be the same.
One person updating a page on a daily basis would have gone a long way
true.
one thing i am thinking.. if my order goes into january i might as well swap for the 3080ti!

I for one hope everyone who's waiting swaps to the 3080TI... means I'll get to see my 3080 that much sooner

And if you and the rest of the queue does that how much longer do you think you'll be waiting till you get one of them
Hi everyone, been lurking here since placing my order (start of Nov so I know I'm in for a long wait) but just wanted to share an update from a call I just had to give something back to the forums
The call queue wasn't too long, took about an hour and I started at 20th in the queue. I spoke to a very lovely trainee who kept on having to ask his supervisor but he was trying his best and it's good that they're taking on more people to answer all our calls.
Anyway, he confirmed (with his supervisor) that switching components will NOT change your place in other component queues. So if I were to change my CPU I would be put to the back of the CPU queue but I would have the same place in the GPU queue. So I could be allocated a GPU but still be waiting for my CPU, for example. This means that all those worried about changing their PSUs won't have to worry about the effect that may have on their GPU slot.
Regarding queues, he said he wasn't able to give me any indication but just that I definitely shouldn't change my GPU and I probably didn't have that long to wait (I doubt that from info on here but one can hope). He also said the Ryzen CPU queues were just as bad as the 3080 GPU queues and switching now was a bad idea.
Hope this helps!

That's very much the situation with all the in-demand component queues. Musical chairs has NOTHING on this with all the frequent switches!And if you and the rest of the queue does that how much longer do you think you'll be waiting till you get one of them

Without speaking with PCS you don't know, no one on the forum can tell you.

We've tried to highlight how this is impossible, many many times, PCS have posted why it's impossible also. Please don't just blindly post in a thread, take your time to read over the history and see where things are at, rather than stating the same falsehoods over and over again.
If you're comparing against components sales sites, it's a completely different business that has completely different stock systems, and it's not a valid comparison at all.

They gave a 5900x and 6800xt to a youtuber called westie who's doing a giveaway atm which u can join. More chance of getting a 6800xt from that in December compared to ur order. I like that they do giveaways which is very cool but imo dont use the things that are highly anticipated, nearly non existent in the uk and have a huge backlog of pre ordersHi everyone, been lurking here since placing my order (start of Nov so I know I'm in for a long wait) but just wanted to share an update from a call I just had to give something back to the forums

You should perhaps take a step back. I made no comment about PC Specialist being incompetent at all or how they should do better. My comment about the Strix (if that's what you're referring to) is not a reference to PCS, it's a reference to general European stock in comparison to other regions being low with no updates generally. However, the comment about queue times is perfectly valid, as others will tell you directly whereas you'd need to go through 2hours of calls to get an update.

And as has been said numerous times on this thread and others, that's not really possible.
