i went with the Obsidian 500d SE from Coolermaster 500h which i thought would be able to fit the PSU since its quite a large case ...but apperantly was not wide enough

Is the 1000RMi PSU not small enough in the 500D SE?

it fits in the Corsair 500d but did not fit in the CM 500h
Oh right. The 500D SE is a very nice case, I went with the same PSU and case as well.
Whilst we’re on the 3080/case subject could someone pass an educated eye over my spec? I have no experience with cases etc. Will this fit ok? Wouldn’t want to slow down my order process. Hope this is ok. Cheers

I think he posted on another post that he has got a 5900X if I am not mistaken.
If this is the case then no, the 5900x doesn’t have an integrated graphics, so won’t output to a display
I'm on 75. So praying I'm close.
What CPU have you got?

So my baby arrived this morning !
Just a little heads up for everyone , the DPD driver threw the box from the van on the ground (had a mild heart attack when i saw that ) ,just makes you wonder how they treat the packages for the duration of the delivery and while its in the warehouse.
Package had no Fragile sticker or anything to indicate that it should be handled with care.Even though that obsidian case is fully glassed and easily crackable.
So as soon as you guys get your PC's check for dmg's thoroughly ,especially people with HDDs . Luckily mine didnt have any so it was fine internally and externally .
Overall im still installing stuff on it but its amazing ,the zotac 3090 is absolute giant of GPU ,had some trouble installing the rear fan so i left it for later.
Apart from the pretty bad delivery experiance ,absolutely worth the wait and i'll keep recommending PCS .Although they need to speak with those DPD guys or at least put FRAGILE or handle with care stickers or soomething.

Gratz on the PC. She is a beauty.
Christ the delivery scares me the most. Can’t even imagine watching a £1400 GPU get thrown on the ground let alone the box with all the other expensive parts.
glad it works and hope you don’t have any problems!
How did it come packaged? Was there anything inside the case to stop parts moving?

Pc came in a box ,inside the box it was wrapped in cover and in a foam brackets. The bottom of the box was almost open ,dont know since when . The PC was really heavy ,probably thats why the box couldnt hold it properly ...
The less time it is with DPD the better ,mine was awaiting dispatch since wednesday ,and i received it today ,so it stayed in that box for a while .

Hi All, I'm probably just reiterating what others have said but at least it's a bit of an update. I just got off an online chat with PCS (I got in to the chat immediately which was great) and he confirmed that I am about half way in the queue for my system (ordered 14th December 2020 - 30 working days). He also confirmed that they are currently ordering only the Zotac and Gigabyte 3080 cards. He then went on to say that they are indeed only fulfilling October's orders currently. He said all of my build is currently in stock, other than the 3080, so for those with a similar build, that's good news. I kind of wish I had gone with the 5900 cpu rather than 3900, but it will be fine for me for a few years at least. That's all for now

Everyone who has been pre-production for less than 55 days have all taken a +1 step closer to completion.
I have decided to switch from the 3080 to 3070. I have vacated the 3080 queue.
When I saw on the forums that the 3070 wait list is around 35 days, I figured that would mean I would suddenly be first in the queue. That is what decided the switch.
And indeed, after updating my order on Saturday, I went into “Building” at 12:40 on Monday. Followed by some whooping and jumping around the room.
My current card is a 970 and so the step up in performance is going to be massive. The 3080 was always a luxury, as a 3070 suits my immediate needs. Maybe I will buy a 3080 in a year’s time (would also need to upgrade the PSU).
Kept the processor as 5800x.
Downgraded the power supply, but upgraded some other components.
Net net … £200 credit note as well.
Will send pictures when it arrives.
And anyone else on +35 days wants to jump to the front of the queue ... the 3070 queue beckons.
