What does everyone think of the below build?Also, Currently on 17 working days and getting too eager. I believe the 30 series graphics cards extend the delivery time by quite a lot. Anyone have a rough idea on how long this build could take?

I'd cancel this build and get an AMD (read the link below for reasoning).
If you still want to stick with current build, could you give us your full information as per below (second) link (we need to know a monitor, uses and a budget), and include the link to your specs?

AMD Vs Intel

So some of you aren't aware of the reasons why so many people are heading away from Intel to AMD, so thought it would be important to lay that out for people to refer back to. A lot of you will go to cpubenchmark or userbenchmark to find performance metrics for CPU's. These sites are complete...

With wait times for the 3080 currently sitting at around 100 working days I would definitely recommend cancelling and going with an AMD build.

As above, knowing your uses can also help us refine the build. If you're not gaming with a 4k 144hz or 1440p Superwide such as the G9 you will likely be better suited to a less powerful GPU such as the 3070 which is in much better supply.

Thanks Guys, I will cancel and opt for the AMD as this seems to be the best option.
In terms of a monitor I am still looking for one and dont really have a budget so not a massive issue.
Also, using pc for gaming and play pretty much anything. As I said I am quite eager so anything to reduce the delivery time haha.
Thanks again!

You're going to be in a long wait for the 3080 I'm afraid. The only way to get around the wait is to pay scalper prices elsewhere, which I cannot really recommend. Specced you out a solid gaming build with lots of RGB loveliness. It comes with a 3070 which have been seeing 15 working day turnarounds recently (although this is always subject to change, the issues in the Suez Canal may cause a short term delay for example).
The 3070 pairs nicely with 1440p Ultrawide monitors, and this Acer product will do the job nicely. At £550 it is a little pricier than some other 1440p displays but is well worth it if you've got the budget.

I shed a tear every time someone buys a 3090 due to the wait. It's a hefty price tag to pay to get yourself along the queue but if you're happy to pay it then fair enough :D

Build suggested with a 3080/90 and a G9 is the stuff of dreams.

Do I have to just cancel the original build all together rather than reconfigure it as when I try to amend my order it doesnt allow me to select AMD rather than Intel?

You’d need to call them up to amend that or cancel and reorder :)
