    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    I upgraded on Xmas Eve, along with upping my CPU from the 3900XT to the 5950X. I did speak to Technical following that after Xmas and upped my PSU and Cooling appropriately. Someone had mentioned that the 3090 were in-stock and likely to be more available so I took the chance. I won't need...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    Though I'm similar to SMQTT and had indulged in the extra cost for a 3090 I wanted to thank everyone here for their support during the 3080 wait prior to Xmas. Came home from work to an email letting me know my desktop had gone into building today, it's been a long wait. Made even longer by...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    I certainly feel to those that are into the 50+ working days, nearing my 40th so I know I've still a few weeks 'til I get into the old-timers club I hear is getting traction in this thread by those who ordered late Sept. Was going to give PCS a ring after the Xmas anyhows, hate to chase my...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    Quite interesting information to have on hand. While I have been patient for the 3080, if there happens to be any MSI 3090 instock and on hand, while more expensive I may be willing to indulge in that extra cost. Probably have a chat with PCS in the morning and see what can be sorted out...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    Aye, the RTX 3080, regardless of which brand, will be the final awaited item. From what I'm seeing from other people posting, it's approx. 2-2½ month wait but that's just in general because that could shift if a large shipment of GPUs suddenly turned up, or alternatively and scarily if the...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    A couple of weeks ago I shopped around a little, put myself on a "notify me later" list on a few sites, I think I got a bit antsy, eager around the time Cyberpunk 2077 was due to release. But in the end I've had a couple of fully built desktop PCs by PCS over the years and while getting my new...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    I'd prefer my desktop pc, as I imagine most would here on the thread eagerly awaiting their rtx 3080s, in all the various shapes and forms that may come in but I'll settle for cake, lots and lots of cake, to tide me over! I know PCS told me I was 703/1356 last week, but that was just in regards...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    I wasn't planning on chasing my order for another week but with people getting an idea of where they were in the queue, I figured I'd try the Live Chat and see what response I got. All they could tell me was that my GPU, the standard RTX 3080 was the shortage initially but when asked directly...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    I wince at the total amount of regular RTX 3080 orders that are in place and having little clue as to where my own position is, alike to most. All we can hope is that the quantities of the stock are coming in to fulfill the orders on time, if it were anything alike to the ROG Strix variant we'd...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    I'm a bit after you all in your orders, ordered my desktop on the 30-10 and just hit the 20 Working Day Production Time. With all the talk of PSU stocks I did give PCS a ring on Thursday and see how my order was looking and apart from the standard 3080 everything was in-stock. I am only going...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST New Gaming Desktop (Since my last from PC Specialist in 2015!)

    With the suggestions Sibun1, gave me last night, I've fiddled about and looked at an equivalent AMD Processor and matching Motherboard to go towards a new desktop PC. Going with this set-up does reduce the cost of the overall build by almost £300 that I could invest into a better quality...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST New Gaming Desktop (Since my last from PC Specialist in 2015!)

    Hmm, as mentioned I'm not overly familiar with monitors but I can understand that if I want to go for the 144hz refresh rate compared to a 60/120hz I'd be paying for that upgrade. I'm pushing towards the 3080 more for the obvious improvement and framerate stability and remember that I'll be...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST New Gaming Desktop (Since my last from PC Specialist in 2015!)

    I haven't looked at AMD for potential builds I'll admit. I'd likely be purchasing the GPU with the desktop itself and in regards to the monitor I'll likely look to spend approx. £300-500 at a push but that'll be the following year. I'd prefer a silent case though it's not set in stone, trying...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST New Gaming Desktop (Since my last from PC Specialist in 2015!)

    Hey there everyone, I'm hoping for some advice for the below build for a new desktop. My budget is approx. £2200-2500, and I'm looking to use it for heavy gaming use (Looking to run titles with at least a stable 60FPS at reasonably high to ultra settings) while recording/streaming video...
