Fair enough but would bring my workings out to about £531 quid so still an extra 70 quid or so added on for good measure.
It's unusual for prices to be sooo far off MSRP surely even with supply and demand. It's a pre-order currently
It's mad. Especially when the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X is £295ish these days.

Well the 2700x is still slower. But its kinda the same boat as Nvidia and AMD. All that extra performance for absurdly more money.
More thinking of the £350 i5-9600K, the 6c/6th model. Yeah, it will have a single-core speed advantage, but AMD offers a huge amount of value, especially when it includes the Wraith Prism cooler.
Intel must be mad with those prices.
My next CPU will be an AMD one, yes they might be slower in games but when you can get a 12 core 24 thread Threadripper cpu for half the price this just shows, how greedy Intel are being.
The thing is, the gaming lead everyone talks about diminishes as you increase resolution. I mean if you want 1080p 240 fps then sure. But I'm gaming at 3440x1440, am I really going to drop all that cash for less that 5%? Hell no.
