how do I go about getting a gtx 680

[Skug]

I recenlty bought all the components for my build. Except the gtx 680. It's still out of stock everywhere. How did you guys get yours? do I just take a week off work to sit and hit F5 on the newegg page?

For anyone that is curious, I ended up changing my build slightly thanks to some advice from forum members.

CHANGED

NZXT switch 810 white - - - (instead of haf x)

asus P9X79PRO - - - (instead of sabertooth)

2 kits of 32gb gskill ares 1866 - - - (instead of corsair vengance 1600)

corsair hx1050 - - - (instead of coolermaster 1200)

STAYED THE SAME

i7-3930k

intel 520 240gb ssd x2

2TB 7200rpm hdd

corsair H100

now I just need an effing gtx 680. I was thinking about waiting for the evga FTW 4gb version but considering how hard it is to get a card that's been out for a month I don't know if I would be able to wait a month after that cards release to get one. Unless, you kids got some insight on how to get one.

I'm a little worried about not getting the pc built as soon as I get the parts. I want to be able to find any errors early and get stuff replaced.

Have you tried talking to some store manager and ask if they could order one for you?

I was lucky enough to get a card from the first batch newegg had for sale, but I used nowinstock.net to get a 470 when they launched.

wtf, I want scan in the us. Pre order out of stock stuff? you get to pick your delivery time? I tried one of the local shops but it's around $100 more to get the card through them. cheaper to pay my out of work sibling 20 bucks to sit and press f5 all day. Thanks for the suggestions though.

It would help if you fill out the location bit of your profile, you newbie

To be fair, he did mention newegg in the OP
