I believe 590s are still not massively common, so with them needing to order them, perhaps they arent on the configuratron at present?
There not on the configuration but if i rang them up would they configure it with a 590? I've read/heard that the 680 will come in 4GB. Even though the 680 is new and only 2GB, is the 590 3GB better having 1GB more? Not really techy but i want the GTX 590.

the 590 is a dual gpu, I think its two 580's placed on the same card. The 590 may be better than a 680 because its two cards, but its probably likely two 680's are better than a 590.
but think about 590's are hard to get hold of, and if something was to go wrong with yours, then it would again take time to find a replacement. think about pricing too 590's are expensive, also both a 580,590,and a 680 will play bf3 on ultra, so you wont even see much of a difference between the three in game, unless you use fraps or something to monitor the fps.
Ya best bet is to call pcs and ask what the crack is with 590, if it were my rig and i had the money to spend then i'd consider the 680 but then again its alot of money, and you could spend less on a 1.5gb 580 and still gain very similar in game performance.
