New owners came along in 2012, since then...well I think I'll let the reviews speak for themselves..
9.4 Trustpilot Score
and we were recently given Google Certified shop status
Yes, I noticed that and that is most definitely a good sign.
So will the delivery date for the ACX 3.0 be after 17/06/2016 now and how is the pre-order queue looking for that model at the moment?

Personally I find the customer service to be absolutely first rate. I pretty much buy all my major purchases from OCUK nowadays. The brilliant customer service is a big reason I keep coming back.
I used to buy more stuff from a Bolton based competitor but I had a really bad experience with a motherboard purchase and ended up having to write a large briefing paper for them explaining the requirements of the consumer legislation and pull out all of my various legal and professional qualifications on my letter signatures. They did relent and give me a refund eventually but I swore I would never make any large purchases from them again. Since then its always OCUK first.
This thread is helpful as I was wondering what was going on with the 1080 supplies. I just pre-ordered 2 of the Asus 1080 Strix yesterday so its disappointing to hear that they are set back at least a week or two and maybe longer but its not OCUK's fault if the manufacturers can't get them delivered so I guess we all just have to patient. Glad I ordered yesterday though at the lower price so that was lucky.

Seems its all 3rd party cards, I smell something fishy from Nvidia cause of the FE cards.
(What I mean is, maybe Nvidia forced the delay to increase the sales of the FE)....or am I a conspiracy nut

Hmm if I wasn't in the middle of a bank transfer I would get a refund but can't due to fear of the refund just bouncing.
Wish I had waited.

Its ok we are still going to get our 1080's, its just delayed for a couple days
Suppose it's just hard when I sold my other and I am running on Intel graphics haha.
Oh well the day will be ever sweeter I guess.

Yeah that was not the smartest thing to do, keeping my 970 until I get my 1080 THEN ill sell it

Fair Enough ....but intel intergrated graphics *shuders*

Fair Enough
Funnily enough, I was on that for the last few months and even managed to play HoTS on low details at 1080p - was good enough to stay at rank 1 so can't be this bad?
iGPUs are quite capable nowadays (considering they used to struggle with playing videos in the past). Maybe it won't play the newest FPS (though I did try Overwatch on it for a bit, bit ****** but it did play downscaled on 30fps which is still "playable") but for people who play MOBAs or some older games, strategies etc or most small indie stuff it's more than enough.
That was all on a 3770k and a 6700k is supposed to be good 40% faster or so.

I don't want a FE card. I would just ask for a refund.
