Did you order before the CPU became £200?

If you are just gaming, take away the i7 and use an i5 2500 sandbridge if needed, better for gaming, if you are video editing and other stuff, go for the i7, i use an i7 [email protected] but thats because i video edit and stuff.

Hey guys.

I just noticed that one of the items i ordered is out of stock and another has not available any more whilst my order is still in the warehouse queue.

Out of stock: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SC-011-AS

Not Available: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BB-005-AE

Now i know that if an item is not in stock it will ship as soon as it will become in stock. However until it becomes in stock are all the other components i order now reserved or do they have to wait until it is all available?

Plus if the component is not available any more, dose that mean it will still get shipped?
