I've been watching and observing this thread for the last 30 pages, feels appropriate to create an account now so I can share with you all what I've just been told. Brace yourselves, this may help but also may break some hearts.
I first spoke to Alice (very helpful in the PCSpecialist online chat service) on 6th of November - I switched from the regular 3080 to an ROG Strix version at this time, and was informed there was a queue of about 250 orders for this card. Alice informed me that in the previous 3 weeks (19.10 - 06.11) there had been 50 deliveries (20 first week, 0 second week, 30 third week).
I have just spoken to them on the online chat again (didn't catch the representative's name) and been informed that, since that day (6th November) there have been - this is where you brace yourselves - 2 units delivered (ROG Strix version). At this point I shed a little tear, not gonna lie.
The chap helpfully explained that I should expect my PC to go into build on the week of Christmas, but not to get my hopes up as this is just a rough estimate. They have deliveries scheduled but, like everywhere else, deliveries aren't showing up or aren't having as many units as they should. So basically, they don't really know.
Now for the good bits. I got some numbers.
I ordered my PC on 30th October at 14:35.
For anyone waiting for a Ryzen 9 5900X CPU, there are 572 orders currently in place and only 38 in stock. I am number 34 in that queue, so one of those has been assigned to me.
For anyone, like me, waiting for a ROG Strix 3080, there are 392 orders in place. I am number 176 of those orders.
For anyone waiting for a regular RTX 3080, there are 1,492 orders in place. I am not in that queue so can't give an idea of where they are working through those.
I hope this information helps some people make informed decisions. I am considering trying to source the GPU from somewhere else separately, but will give PCS some more time as I do love them as a company.
