With the back order on Asus then will be lucky this side of christmas.
I have seen some sites advertising 40 day leadtime on Asus 58x0 cards. Asus seem to be getting very poor allocation from ATI/AMD, even overclockers are only getting a handful a week.

Id get it cancelled, be thousands ahead of you in the queue, and they only get about 1 or 2 cards in a week, so looking at next year now probs by the time they get around to your order, and it won't matter what 5870 you pick, as you can't get any due to the poor yields, they shouldn't be on pre-order imo, as they are going to be getting loads of complaints raining in now due to not being able to fulfill the orders for months.
You get charged as soon as you put the order in.

I got stung once by OCUK doing this to me with the launch of Core2Duo. Got whipped up into a pre-order frenzy months before launch after going along with the crowd that there would be mass shortages, which there wasn't.
Still, as they will point out, was my choice to do it & nobody forced me - as it is my choice never to pre-order from them again.

Be old tech before you get them, as ATi will be shipping their R900's before they get these buggers out.
