Well i'm off to South Africa on the 9th Nov for 3 weeks on a business trip & originally I thought about waiting until I got back to order an ASUS 5850, H50 and and SSD drive, with hopes to OCUK having stock and perhaps saving a few quid. Now im not so sure!!! If I ordered now, surely the kit would arrive before I return on the 30th Nov? and I guess with the demand for these cards and the VAT going back up etc I doubt i'd save much anyway?

what to do? :)

I would wait if I were you, I would be tearing my hair out if I was to build a machine like that only to leave it behind for 3 weeks ;)
 
Well, i'm more worried about getting on the pre-order list than anything. I really want the ASUS card 5850 and also want the Crucial M225 128GB, both which are on pre-order right now :(

To be honest, I doubt this kit would turn up before the 9th as i'm living in Denmark, so I just figured if the price isnt going to drop I may aswell order now and have the new stuff ready for when I get back?

Well since ocuk have so far got 10 Asus 5850 in with 100 pre-orders, even if you ordered now, you might not still have your Asus before you get back!

Unless Asus pull their finger out.;)
 
I reckon that you're going to have real issues getting hold of 5850's whenever you try to buy one, there simply aren't enough being made to meet demand. I don't know about the M225's though. I doubt very much that the prices are going to drop between now and coming back from your trip.
