I'm well aware on how M2's perform in games mate :p. Great price for that 2TB! I saw a 1TB Gen4 going on a certain marketplace for £109 recently.

Sorry, didn't mean to teach you to suck eggs. Video just made me chuckle!

Optimistic "make an offer" and "PRICE8" discount code FTW ;-) Was holding out for Black Friday, but this was never going to get bettered. I considered ponying for the gen4, but I'm very slack about upgrades so I'd be sure it would spend its whole life plugged into a gen3 slot, laughing behind my back :-)

The two big players are already pricing above MSRP, I spoke to the competition just now and they're charging just slightly under the OCUK prices, but still above MSRP. So it has already begun! There are a couple of honest places but they are so large their staff don't understand the NDA or launch times and stock gets thrown out randomly, so good luck getting MSRP tomorrow!

I don't mind waiting although I would like to verify all the kit bought actually works while I'm still in the return window...

That's the issue I have. I can't test anything! That's why I paid for a 3700x last night which is due either tomorrow or Friday. Hopefully they don't ship it until tomorrow, then I maybe able to cancel if I get the 5000 series without have to return.
3700x is going to bottleneck the 3080, so maybe I made a bad decision. For £280 with the prism cooler isn't too bad I guess...At least it will save me buying an AIO as well.
I don't know what to do! Lol.

3900X is going for £383 with the prisim cooler, that certainly won't bottleneck.

Wont be buying from OCUK if i do buy tomorrow as they will be available at many other retailers for a lot cheaper.

As it has been said before - being cheaper means nothing if you have no stock. I'll be happy to pay the price on OCuk if they are the only place with stock. £19 more is nothing if you upgrade the PC once every 6 years :-P
 
Just got off live chat with the place I was going to buy from (not one of the biggest stores in the UK but probably just squeak into the top 10) and they have had no allocation of 8 core or 16 cores, not even an indication of when any could be due to arrive. 6 and 12 core parts only. Yikes :/
