Hit 50 days today. 5900x, removed the graphics card on 26th December. I was told the same about being in the next batch or one after, that was over 2 weeks ago.
I'm guessing Christmas/covid/Brexit has further delayed the components, based on the time people in this thread waited pre-Christmas...
I called today to see if it would be any quicker if I upgraded to a 5950x and they recommended sticking with the 5900. Still hopeful it will go into build this week.
Spoke to them this morning and even though I've removed the gpu I'm still waiting on the 5900x. I was hoping that since I'm on 38 days my cpu would already have been allocated (several people on here have them in build with shorter wait times). I guess maybe they don't allocate until all the...
Yeah, you have to be quick. Sign up at stock informer, for push notifications. That's how I got mine.

It's likely. Maybe longer given it's a strix. Check out the 3080 thread for estimates, because that will delay you more than the CPU. There is a wait for a 5900x, a longer wait for 3080s, and an even longer wait for strix cards.
Removed the 3080 from my build yesterday. I'm on 35 days with a 5900x, given the dates others on here are giving I'm hoping it will go in to build soon.
I'm on 34 days, so a while to go yet. I'll call them after Christmas and see what the situation with the other parts is. Its a 5900x so if I'm also waiting for that I might as well continue to wait for the 3080.
3070 seems to be out as well for the moment. Currys say they have the Vision, then when you put in a postcode it says not available for delivery of collection.
I'm considering dropping the 3080 to get the computer sooner. Can anyone recommend an available graphics card (either from PCS or elsewhere) that would do the job for now? Paired with an ultrawide monitor, probably Samsung Odyssey.
