Gibbo has said it'll be a situation similar to this, they dont have the stock numbers to meet demand

With Gibbo saying "the ones in stock are single digits" the BEST case assumption is he means single digits of a few different models, so what, 30-40 TOTAL. Honestly it sounds like there might not be more than a few hundred of them in the country across all the retailers. Its going to be horrific.
 
1. Order one and get on with your life until it arrives.
2. Don't order one, get on with your life and then purchase one when they're freely available and massively inflated.
 
Why have i gone from 125 to 143? Surely cancellations, actual cards dispatched and bot removal should have the opposite effect. I really hope OCUK are honouring the 'first come, first served' promise.
More people added details.....
 
I have been loitering in this thread with interest. I am 938 in the queue for the ASUS TUF (non OC). little to no chance of seeing anything this side of Chriustmas I fear. As a result I have also ordered the Gigabyte Vision (1940 22 Sept) in the hope i have increased my chances of getting a GPU. My first build so not got a current GPU for PC to fall back on and wait....
 
Well there you go then, quelle surprise. ;)
If you look at the configurator for their PC builds they have plenty of items marked as build stock, so I imagine this is a longstanding practice. It makes sense from a product perspective to keep stock aside as otherwise they'd not be able to sell PCs in this type of situation. I understand the frustration though given the awful situation.
 
I cancelled a Palit 3080 Gaming Pro standard yesterday that I ordered the day after launch.

Instead I ordered an in-stock Gigabyte 3080 Gaming OC from OCUK as they had some set aside for builds. I had to buy a whole system to get it, but I was planning to upgrade my 6 year old 4970k build anyway.

Where did you hear this about OcUK setting aside Gpu`s for Builds....I`m having a Pc System built right now, but was told I had to purchase my 3080 and were not setting aside Gpu`s for builds. Has something changed??
 
should we read anything into the fact that Gibbo, who I believe is the purchasing manager for OC’s, now has a picture of a Ferrari on the bottom of all his posts:)
Gibbo Purchased Ferrari after Sold JAg SVR and thats been over ONE YEAR AGO seen it at OCUK car meetings Looks Great in Yellow Red not so much. That's what You get when You are not stupid enough to get married and You love Car's :) Think I got footage of Gibbo taking me for spin in hes old 911 :)
Sure i have video from OCUK Donington track day Gibbos oold 911 that he had b4 SVR 7.15

Black Dc2 is my old Tracjk toy.

No idea, but they had the Gigabyte in stock and listed as build stock yesterday. The Gigabyte and Asus Tuf are still listed as build stock, but are currently out of stock. I guess it depends which card.
