There is a shortage on graphics cards, so we are often out of stock. However, we will give priority to customers who have placed a deposit for full system builds. Once you confirm the order and make the standard 50% deposit, you will be placed on the waitlist and will be served according to your place in line. We will notify you when there is a graphics card allocated to your build. Wait times can vary, so you must ask us at the time of purchase for an estimate. Because of frequent price changes, we cannot offer price protection of the price of the card increases between the time you pay the deposit and when the card comes in. However, you have the option to cancel the order. Wait times generally range from 4 days to 3 weeks, but this can vary significantly depending on that specific time, filand the specific model you choose.
