Can't wait for it to get here!

Thanks to all you guys that helped me come up with a perfect spec, especially a couple of you (wont mention names, that'll be picking favourites, haha) But yeh, you really helped me, considering I don't know an awful lot, it seems asif I now have the perfect rig for me, can't wait for it to come now.
Booked a week of work in 2 weeks so hopefully it'll come before then so then I can live on it for a week. hah.:turned:

 

[Corfate]

I do hope we will get pictures?

 

[oistead]

Ofcourse I will post as soon as I get it... Would be tempted to do an unboxing video, but after seeing that boy dry hump his box/computer, I don't think I could go that far, or even make it a tiny bit as entertaining as his.

 

[oistead]

Likeliness of me getting it before the 6th with 5 day fast track?

Oh man, so excited! Can't wait.

Sure dude, will do! What are the reviews for it like? I was told it would work better than the original GPU I chose so went with it. :turned:

 

[NMEBowen]

its just behind the 570 like 4-5 frames difference in gaming so its bit of a powerhouse and with all the extra cuda cores supposidly amazing for rendering programs that use that tech.

 

[oistead]

Ahhh good, sounds awesome!

 

[oistead]

Quality control already! :turned:

 

[Ash]

Wish I had that extra £60 for fast track. Been over a week now and I'm still in pre-production.

Ahh sucks man, sorry to hear that.
Maybe they're waiting for an out of stock part to be available? A friend of mine also ordered yesterday and his is currently being built. (so he says, anyway...)

Nah I've asked them about there being any parts out of stock and they said there aren't, it's just waiting in a queue. Must be a bloody big queue. I asked how many orders there were in front of mine and he said he didn't have the numbers.

 

[oistead]

Maybe it's a busy time? Well you know that I'm in front of you, that's for sure, haha.
When did you order? Hope they get building soon for you dude.

16th Jan. Processed straight away.
I need it soon as well. My current laptop is ancient. It's a chore just browsing these forums. Just opened iTunes and it took 5+ minutes to respond.

This does not fill me with confidence on getting mine soon which I ordered yesterday. To make matters worse, I'm supplying the RAM and only posted it today

 

[Ash]

If you've not selected any fast tack options then you'll probably be waiting over 2 weeks.

 

[oistead]

The wait will be worth it though right?
Only reason I used fast track is because I have a week off work soon and nothing to do, so wanted to game while I'm off (whilst the girlfriend is at work haha)

I'm not sure if it's a big team behind the scenes or anything, can't really imagine it is... So at busy times I could imagine it being hard for them to keep up with all of the orders and trying to get them all out on time, I'm sure once you get your PC you'll be over the moon.

 

[Ash]

Yeah, I'm sure I will haha
It's just an unbearable wait though. I can't do any work on my laptop as it's just too slow.
