I've pre-ordered the 512 960 Pro for my Rig 3 build. Unfortunately OCUK was £25 more expensive so I've ordered it somewhere else.

OcUK may be more expensive, but preorder pricing at some competitors aren't always guaranteed. Assuming I've found the one you are referring to, then their ETA is already a week later than OcUK anyway.

I'll just wait and see who gets them in first.

Maybe. I'd rather wait a week though and spend £25 less. The wait is less urgent for me as I've got other PC's. I'm also waiting for the 7700k to be released.

That said, if where I've ordered increases the price, I shall check any increase against OCUK and go with the cheapest!

In stock or you've pre-ordered?

I've been given an ETA of 04/11 for the 512GB 960PRO..

I've got my pre-order in and also have an ETA of 04/11 for the 1TB.

Any reviews for the evo line? Just pre ordered the 500gb for £217.

So, turns out OCUK are giving the same timeline as the cheaper competitor that I've pre-ordered from.

In the end i went for the oem SM961 512GB for £219.99.

Anyone had theirs dispatched from anywhere yet, got 1TB on order but not clear on when this is coming out as everywhere seems to have passed expected pre-order dates?

MajinV · 7 Nov 2016 at 20:39

Spoke to ocuk today and they'd not received yet and their eta hadn't been updated either.

Got a 512 on order myself along with the rest of a new build.

Radox-0 · 7 Nov 2016 at 22:15

Thanks! That's a shame though. Likewise pulled my build apart to give the blocks, was hoping to get it all put back together.

Well called few places now, seems end of the month from what I got told at a few places :eek:

Baggins_451 · 8 Nov 2016 at 12:14

Have they gone up 40 some quid?

Deluxe1 · 8 Nov 2016 at 12:37

Not sure about 40 but they've went up since they were put up for pre order.

MajinV · 8 Nov 2016 at 12:38

Seen 22nd November elsewhere. Yea price increased but preorder not changed apparently.

The price has been changing wildly over last few weeks (here and else where). I'm positive it got as high as £379 for the 512GB 960 pro at one point.

Unfortunately I decided to shopped elsewhere and I pre-paid £317 including postage for an estimated delivery of 22nd November (as some else mentioned).

I could easily cancel if stock turns up here or there.

That 961 benchmark looks all the more advertising, however I shall be patient playing the long game..... pining for a GTX 1080Ti to finish latest build.
