Hey all, Very happy to finally get my 3080/5900x build today, but I was supposed to get free games that came with it as well as a year of Geforce Now. Nothing seems to be in the box that came with the machine. Am I missing something here? Should it have been emailed to me? Can't call the...

Turns out they delivered it this morning without me changing anything! Very happy to finally have this machine. Stay strong everyone, almost exactly a 5 month wait for me to the day

PC has been dispatched! Is there any chance of it being delivered on a Saturday? Would love to have it come for the long weekend. Otherwise it would come on Tuesday when I am in my work office for the first time which would be annoying timing.

IT'S HAPPENING For reference I'm at 106 working days (ordered on December 28th)

Thank you good sir. Not long to go now I hope

I did it guys. 100 days. Plz bless me with cake

98 days over here. Getting close to the big 100.....

I'm at 94 days, coming up on the big 100! Looks like the timeline has gotten longer than 100 at this point but hopefully means I'm round the corner soon!

So last week my PC gave up the ghost and gave me an excuse to ring PC Specialist to see if they could assist with fixing it. Wasn't able to solve anything but I also asked for how long they expected my order to take. The guy said that they had ordered 1500 3080 cards for April but was likely...

Well guess I'm joining the queue right at the bottom having just ordered today! Here's hoping I get my rig before April!

Thanks for the advice everyone, decided that I'm might as well just go for 4K now and since I'll be waiting a few months for the build I will have earned some extra cash by the time I get it, which means I can buy a 4K display instead! Final build included the better RAM, Case and Cooling as...

Interesting, didn't consider this. I will get a 4K monitor at some point but I guess a lower end card would probably suffice for now. Any reason to go 3060Ti as opposed to 3070? Are the 3060Ti more readily available?

Thanks! I would like to keep the 2TB SSD as I want to have a lot of games installed and running from it. How much difference will the faster RAM/improved water cooling make? I'm not that deep in the weeds of pushing my PC to its limits so will I notice any tangible improvements?

Great thanks, here is the link https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/saved-configurations/amd-am4-gen3-pc/0YqsYnJtdP/

It's going to be used for Gaming/Video Editing. I'm targeting a 1440p 144hz monitor (though will upgrade to 4K eventually) - Build costs around £2700 and I don't want it to go higher than that. Not sure how to get the configuration link for my choices cos this one takes you to the base page...
