I just pulled the trigger on my latest build last night. 🙂 It's been about three months of hemming and hawing over parts. I think I did OK. I think that the GSkill DDR2800 is a bargain at $214. These were ordered from Newegg.

Problem! :Q So I logged into Newegg's website to check my order status and see that two vital pieces of my build are now sold out. :| The P5B-E and 7900GTO. They were not listed as such last night when I ordered. I really hope that I got my order in in time before they sold out and that they still have a few in inventory to cover the order that I placed.
 
As long as you placed your order when it was in stock you should be fine, the same thing happend to me, and i have the same video card btw... its very nice.
 
Thanks Clevee. Actually, my order status reads that my case shipped from NJ and the other parts shipped from Tennessee. No tracking number is posted yet but, I'm probably OK like you said. Good thing I didn't wait until today 🙂.

This is going to be good news for the P5B-E fans. Now that Newegg's inventory has been cleaned out there's a good chance that the next batch will be the coveted 1.02 revision mobos.
 
Yeah i ordered mine, actually it was the Gt KO and I called eVGA before i baught it to make sure it wasnt from the batch with the defective memory, i think I did buy it from that batch but I just took the risk because it was a 10% chance of getting a bad one, plus they replace them if they go bad. In my opinion evga has the best customer service of all.
 
My order has shipped 🙂. I haven't seen any messages about problems with my order due to the 7900GTO and P5B-E selling out so I should be good to go. The only thing left to do is sit back and wait.
 
Icepick,

Our apologies for the late response.

We try and keep our website and inventory updated in real-time. So, if items are now shown as "out of stock," chances are, you purchased the last of our inventory. If you haven't been notified of a problem with the shipment of your order, we'd have to say that everything is a-okay.

But, if you need anything, we're just a PM away. =)

Thanks for choosing Newegg!
 
:thumbsup: Thanks for the update! I've never seen any other retailer go out of their way to respond to customer comments on a forum. I really appreciate this.
