Delivery For Christmas?

[InternetKillTV]

Hey

This is my second post here. I've pretty much found out just about everything I need to know before I order my Desktop Gaming Rig (Tomorrow )

I'm wondering if I order the standard build time + delivery tomorrow if it will be guaranteed to be here before Christmas? Does anyone know? Any moderators online know? Has anyone else asked the same question? Sorry if they have, I haven't had time to hunt the forums

Anyway, look forward to replies as usual!

Hope they kick into action, the time they've taken to build my rig I have my doubts as to the guarantee to have orders delivered before Christmas if ordered by midnight on the 9th. If they're building up a queue of orders to fulfil already due to not holding sufficient stock they get a rush on the 8th / 9th they're hosed.

Unless they've a big influx of stock coming in I can't see how they can guarantee getting anything ordered by midnight on the 9th delivered by the 23rd - 10 working days going by my experience.

In Building 10th working day

I'd be ordering as soon as possible, especially if you are ordering anything with especially high powered components.

spec looks good dude, only things i'd do are

try and go for a corsair 650 psu, they are generally pretty reliable and energy efficient
I'd try and push for the gtx 560 ti 448 cores, will give you better gaming performance, or even better a 570.
If possible go for a 22inch IIyama monitor, they are VERY VERY good.
oh and get the extra warranty for a fiver, increasing collect and return for a year.

Can't tell you about your particular machine but I ordered a PC just recently and it came through quicker than the stated 10 to 12 days. So quick that I am still playing with it and trying to get used to the speed and Windows 7 that is a "New" experience for me.

Get the order in asap and you will find out if there are any component problems.

Ordered mine two days ago with standard delivery. They have now built my pc and are just waiting for the GPU to arrive tommorw. So far really quick service, as long as alls in stock don't be to worried!

EDIT - Ordered on Sunday the 4th, PC arrived on Friday the 9th. Very happy with this, considering i bought it on standard build and delivery!
