Seen people buying pre-built systems just to get the 3080 then take it out to either sell it at inflated price or use it for themselves and sell the remainder ! How desperate are people ! Crazy mad year.

I'm on ~6 year old system with i5 4690k so ideally looking for whole system
Many people are also on older platforms and may just want a whole PC.
What do you expect when people will even scrap over a pack of loo rolls.

My only concern with the launch is that the website will slow to a crawl

Haha!
Agreed, I plan to be logged in to my OCUK account an hour before lol
I wish OcUK had one-click shopping.

I use amazon pay through OCUK not sure if that's better or worse than the normal card payment systems?
It completely broke down during the 3080 release time and caused many orders (mine included) to be cancelled.

Ah okay, I've just made a recent order with that so no saved card yet, might see if there's anything I need to spot on a deal just to set it up and save the details lol.
I found PayPal went though straight away and my 3080 was shipped next day.
I've always had this issue with my debit card payments being refused at OCuK until I get the text to my phone from my bank, asking for authorisation to proceed with the purchase, which means I have to go through the whole purchase & payment system twice!
You can probably see why i wouldn't waste my time trying to buy anything from here on day one.

You can buy OcUK gift cards so that you're bypassing the payment processing system.
Which on the face of it goes against AMD's schedule. But maybe they don't think 3hrs matters much but does allow them to get a few hundred out the door that afternoon.
Has AMD published their schedule?

Yes I agree there are genuine ones looking for a new system.
True.
However when you see the same PC's advertised for sale on another website a few days later minus the graphics card and the graphics card from the same seller also beind sold seperately.........
I messaged the guy out of interest and he confirmed where they came from !
If he sells the lot must be making 4 figured sum.
Yeah that's F...ed up.
